Scotland Vs Oman Quick Review – Broken Dreams for Oman as Scotland continue to impress.
Although Scotland had won 2 in a row, their progress to the Super 12s was not guaranteed due to Bangladesh’s comeback. A loss and they could have been out, but they held their nerve.

Moments of The Day: Bowlers Ensure Scottish Victory
- Player of the match award went to yet another bowler, Josh Davey, with another 3+ wickets in an innings. Along with the emotional Safyaan Sharif, the form a good fast bowling partnership. Add spin of Mark Watt & Michael Leask, and Oman was squeezed for runs.
- Captain comes to the party. Kyle Coetzer had come in with scores of 0 & 6. In a pressure match, he delivered, making sure the match does not go all the way to the end.
- Watch out for Scotland’s top order. Today they all fired: Munsey (20), Coetzer (41), Cross (26*), and Berrington (31*)
Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: Oman Fail To Hold Their Nerve
- Oman were 79-3 but could not deliver the finishing punch and ended with a paltry 122. Oman has been a wonderful host for the first leg of the tournament, and it is a shame that they had out to leave the stage with only 3 games. Hopefully they play more cricket again.
