Pakistan vs Oman, 4th Match, Group A - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's it from here. We will be back tomorrow for more action. Do join us then. For now it's bye bye.

Salman Agha | Pakistan captain: With the bat we still need some work. The bowling was outstanding, I am happy with the bowling unit. We have three spinners and they are all different, even Ayub, we have 4-5 good options and you need that when playing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With the start we got, we should have got 180 but that's how cricket goes. We have been playing some really good cricket, we won the tri-series and won here comfortably, if we executed our plans for a longer period then we are good enough to beat any team.

Jatinder Singh | Oman captain: Restricting them to under 160, I am very proud of the boys on how we bowled. They executed the plans that were discussed. We didn't rotate the strike, there were some nerves and our team is better than what we performed today. (message to the team) To back ourselves, play positive cricket and not see who is bowling.

Mohammad Haris | Player of the Match: It was very good. It was a much needed innings for me and Pakistan. When we came here it (the pitch) was looking very good, very flat but the ball was not coming on and we did well to put the runs on the board. That (batting aggressively) was what I was doing for Pakistan and in the PSL, the skipper also told me to play aggressively.

21:55 Local Time, 17:55 GMT, 23:25 IST: The last-wicket pair frustrated Pakistan but the result was never in doubt. Saim Ayub struck with his first-ball and from there Pakistan never looked back. Only Mirza shone with some nice strokes. The rest of the batting was nothing to write home about. All the six bowlers used by Pakistan were amongst the wickets. Too much gulf in quality between the two sides and it showed eventually. Pakistan warm up for their next game against India with a nice run in the field. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
