Chasing 215, Oman started off well with the opener Jatinder Singh smashing 53 off 71 balls before he was dismissed by Sharif.
Zeeshan Maqsood also played a good hand and made 46. The other middle order batters simply lost their wickets when it mattered the most. Ayaan Khan kept one end intact and found gaps with ease. With only 7 runs needed in 2 overs with 3 wickets in hand, Oman looked hot favourites.
