Ireland vs Oman
World Cup qualifier match Ireland vs Oman. Ireland batted first and collected 281 runs by taking 7 wickets in 50 overs. Oman scored 178 runs for 3 wickets in 31 overs to bat for victory. Oman played well today and have a chance to win today. Kashyap Prajapati he batted superbly and got out with 72 runs off 74 balls. Aqib Ilyas also batted well and was dismissed for 52 runs off 49 balls. Oman need only 104 runs in 19 overs to win today. I think Oman will win today.
Oman is chasing the target in a very comfortable and confident way. For Ireland it is Dockrell's 91* runs helped the team reach good score of 281 runs. For Oman starting from the opener there is good contribution. Oman requires another 22 runs from 30 balls with 5 wickets in hand. Three players have contributed with half centuries. The World Cup qualifier matches were really interesting as teams are performing really well and beyond the expectation.
After having target like this Oman play very good and win their first match of this event against Ireland which was looking favorite for the going into last four even 281 was very good target, but Irish bowling was not as par standard to give any resistance to Oman which is having services of adopted players from Pakistan and India.
Ireland started well but after losing two quick wickets their run was stopped by Oman bowlers at the end we have good knock from George Dockrell who hit 91 from 89 balls as today we have poor display of batting from Harry Tector he used 82 balls for his 52 runs which hurt them badly because here we need 25 to 30 more runs which give good stand to his team.
Oman lost first wicket quickly but after this they have good recovery, captain Zeeshan play well all-round knock for his team and give them good win which now can give them spot into last four as well.
