- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Castled! Backs away and has to walk away now, Tector. Shakeel fires in a length ball at 104kph. It lands around off and goes on with the angle. Looked like a cross-seam delivery. Once again Tector backs away to cut but is done in by the skid. Sees his woodwork smashed. Ireland lose one early 6/12.4 Skied up the air... a near-collision but Oman get their second! Slower through the air this time, lands it on a length just outside off. Gets good amount of bounce, too. Adair looks to hit it over the bower's head but ends up getting only height, little distance. Shakeel runs back from mid-pitch, Kaleem runs to his right from mid-off - luckily for Oman, both have their eyes on the ball. Kaleem pouches it safely and Adair's innings cut short 25/24.6 What a delivery! Shaves top of off to give Shakeel his third. Slower through the air this time, 93.4kph. Lands it on a length around off, gets it to move away just a little. Very little spin that. Because he had been balling a lot of arm balls, Tector pushes at it down the line and does not account for the deviation. It turns past his outside edge and hits the top of off. Shakeel is delighted and why not! 45/37.3 Trapped plumb in front? The umpire thinks so but Campher wants to have another look. Arm ball on a length around off and middle, 87.9kph. Instead of coming forward, he opts to hang back and plays it with an angled bat face. No inside edge and his back leg is in front of leg and middle. Three reds on the tracking and Ireland lose a review and a fourth wicket 64/416.5 More power but not enough distance. Faisal celebrates in Delany's face as he breaks through. Full and outside off, 124.5kph. It is right in Delany's slot. But he smacks it straight to long-off, who is not deep. Odedra takes a few steps forward and fumbles before hanging on 165/5Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL235/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.75)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tim Tector, 0.5 ov), 2-25 (Ross Adair, 2.4 ov), 3-45 (Harry Tector, 4.6 ov), 4-64 (Curtis Campher, 7.3 ov), 5-165 (Gareth Delany, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 McCarthy gets the breakthrough! Kaleem is out after his half-century. Digs it short and angles it into the batter, cramping him for room. Kaleem backs away and still goes for the pull. He is not in control of it and hits it down Humphreys' throat at long leg. He takes it with a tumble and that is curtains for the oldest half-centurion in an ICC tournament 97/32.1 Trapped in front! A celebrappeal from Humphreys. Tosses it up on a fullish length on middle and off. Jatinder once again goes for the switch hit. Misses the ball and is pinged on the right knee in front of the stumps. Checks with his partner about the review but Kaleem asks him to walk away 21/12.4 Run-out at the striker's end. Looks like Odedra is short of the crease. He taps it in front of cover and charges down for a quick single. He is sent back by Kaleem. By then Harry Tector swoops it and under-arms a flat throw to Tucker, who does the rest 24/213.4 A massive mix-up and the set Mirza is out of here. Quicker and fuller on leg, clipped through midwicket. Mirza always wanted two, and sprints back for the second. Ramanandi, though, is ball-watching and doesn't realise his partner is almost near him. The throw from Harry Tector is flat to the bowler, who does the rest. Mirza is furious as he makes his way out 113/611.5 Soft dismissal! Tossed up around off, Shukla charges down to go inside out over cover. Gets too close to the pitch of it and hits it straight to Humphreys in the ring. Two quick wickets for Ireland 107/412.2 Little has his hands aloft and Ireland now have three wickets in the last ten balls. Digs it short from over the wicket, Nadeem goes back and pulls it straight to deep backward square leg where Delany makes no mistake. Oman sliding rapidly now 108/514.1 Catching practice for mid-on. Short ball outside off, Ramanandi backs away to pull it across the line. Only gets a top edge. Adair settles under it and takes it safely 114/714.4 Castled! Full and straight on leg, 136.6kph. Nadeem backs away to heave it across. His feet go nowhere. He is rooted to the crease after the short balls. He is beaten on the inside and that's that 115/817.6 A very good catch running back from midwicket and Ireland have sealed the win. Another short ball on middle and leg, Mehmood gets the pull high on the bat. As he finds out, that is not enough to clear Ross Adair running back from the ring. A 96-run win for Ireland 139/1015.4 Well-judged catch from Humphreys running backl. Tosses it up from around the stumps, Shakeel gets down to slog it across the line but top-edges it. Humphreys runs back towards mid-off, eyes on the ball, and takes it safely 121/9Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL139 all out (18 Overs, RR: 7.72)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Jatinder Singh, 2.1 ov), 2-24 (Ashish Odedara, 2.4 ov), 3-97 (Aamir Kaleem, 10.5 ov), 4-107 (Vinayak Shukla, 11.5 ov), 5-108 (Mohammad Nadeem, 12.2 ov), 6-113 (Hammad Mirza, 13.4 ov), 7-114 (Jiten Ramanandi, 14.1 ov), 8-115 (Nadeem Khan, 14.4 ov), 9-121 (Shakeel Ahmed, 15.4 ov), 10-139 (Sufyan Mehmood, 17.6 ov)
