All

W
Brad Evans to Nadeem Khan, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! That is an incredible running catch to end the innings. Bennett the man at deep mid-wicket, runs and flies to his right, goes with both hands and catches it airborne. Then lands well and ensures the catch is clean. That is the catch of the tournament till now. Was the back of the hand slower-ball and angling into the left-hander as Nadeem Khan comes down the track to heave, doesn't hit it that well but it was landing in space till Bennett sprinted and came up with a magnificent catch. Just 103 on the board as Oman are bowled out off the penultimate ball. Nadeem Khan c Brian Bennett b Brad Evans 20(18) [4s-1 6s-1]

Raza to Sufyan Mehmood, no run, clear glove and the decision will be reversed. Flat and full on leg-stump, Sufyan Mehmood is early into the reverse-sweep as he turns around, but it has hit the glove and UltraEdge picks it. Asif Yaqoob was quick to put the finger up, now has to change it

W
Richard Ngarava to Jiten Ramanandi, out Caught by Dion Myers!! The short ball and one more wicket. Following Jiten Ramanandi backing away outside the leg-stump, he is in no position to pull, splices it to the left of mid-wicket. That came on to him quicker than he anticipated and that's a simple catch. Jiten Ramanandi c Dion Myers b Richard Ngarava 1(3)

W
Richard Ngarava to Vinayak Shukla, out Caught by Brendan Taylor!! A wicket right after the drinks break. That awkward short of length delivery near off-stump, Vinayak Shukla looks to dab late, but the ball flicks the left glove as he is rushed and Brendan Taylor dives to his right to catch the looping ball. That was too quick for Shukla. The partnership is broken. Vinayak Shukla c Brendan Taylor b Richard Ngarava 28(21) [4s-4]

Blessing Muzarabani to Aamir Kaleem, out Caught by Dion Myers!! Oman lose their third in the form of Aamir. This time the bounce did the trick.

Myers takes a simple catch. Aamir Kaleem c Dion Myers b Blessing Muzarabani 5(7) [4s-1]

W
Richard Ngarava to Hammad Mirza, out Caught by Brendan Taylor!! Another one bites the dust. This time the length was short. Ngarava ensured it wasn't in the batter's arc which means Mirza had to reach out for the ball. Gets a thick outside edge as Mirza goes for another pull and gives a simple catch to the keeper. Zimbabwe are on a roll here. Hammad Mirza c Brendan Taylor b Ngarava 0(5)
1.1
W
Blessing Muzarabani to Jatinder Singh, out Bowled!! Peach of a delivery to get Oman skipper. Was Jatinder late on the ball? He wasn't sure of the length. The ball nips in off the deck and sneaks through bat-pad to crash into middle. Jatinder was initially on the back foot, made his mind up late to get on the front foot. The weight was on the heels allowing the ball to get through the defence. Muzarabani is ecstatic. Jatinder Singh b Muzarabani 5(5) [4s-1]
