Player of the MatchJatinder Singh67(50)
So that is from this game! PNG, Ireland, Netherlands, Namibia, Scotland and Oman will join Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the first group stage of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup. More to come though from this tournament as the semi-finals and the final are still pending along with the 3rd-place and 5th-place playoffs. On Friday, Ireland will face Netherlands in SF1 at 1410 local (1010 GMT) while later at 1930 local (1530 GMT) PNG will lock horns against Namibia in SF2. Do join us for all the action. Cheers!
Oman skipper, Zeeshan Maqsood, says he was worried when they were 42 for 6. He feels they gave their wickets away under pressure but Jatinder Singh and Naseem Khushi were excellent and their partnership was the turning point. Mentions they have one of the best pace attacks and Bilal was exceptional. States everybody bowled well and supported each other. Ends by saying all the hard work of the coaches, families and the players has paid off.
Hong Kong skipper, Aizaz Khan, says it is disappointing they missed out. Admits that they lost the plot in the last five overs with the ball and in the Powerplay with the bat. Further adds they started off well with the ball and in the field but then leaked too many runs at the death.
Man of the Match, Jatinder Singh says he's feeling amazing. Further adds all the hard work by them has paid off. Appreciates the way Bilal Khan bowled and says he was unplayable. Ends by telling that he likes to dig in so that was his aim to stay out there till the end and he thought they could defend 130.
Hong Kong encountered King Kong in Bilal Khan! The left-arm pacer bowled a dream first spell. He along with Fayyaz Butt ran amok and removed the cream of Hong Kong's batting inside the Powerplay. They were 18/5 at one stage and needed someone to stand up and bail them out. Scott McKechnie took the responsibility on himself and formed an alliance with Haroon Arshad. They put together a 50-run stand and Hong Kong were in with a chance. The asking rate was never an issue for them but when McKechnie was trapped in front of the stumps in the 17th over, the writing was on the wall. They carried on to bat for 20 overs but never looked like overhauling the target.
Talk about momentum! Oman were down and out while batting. But Jatinder Singh held one end to stroke a fabulous knock. He combined with Aamir Kaleem to steady the sinking ship and then came the partnership that provided the impetus and momentum. The pair of Jatinder and Naseem Khushi raised a quickfire half century stand to provide respectability to Oman's total. They carried that momentum into their bowling innings and rest, as they say, is history.
Oman have pulled off a heist! Their coach is running in jubilation. The whole Oman squad is charging on the ground. They are in a huddle. Emotions pouring. What a win! Oman are flying to Australia! They are joyous! They are over the moon! What a performance from them! Reduced to 42/6 while batting, who would have thought that they will recover so well to trounce Hong Kong.

Fayyaz Butt To Mohammad Ghazanfar
A dot! The Oman coach gets extremely excited, he comes down the steps and is now all ready to rush onto the field. He knows now Oman is over the line and the last ball is just a formality. A short ball outside off, Ghazanfar swings but misses.

Fayyaz Butt To Kyle Christie
Just a single from the ball they needed more than a run! 13 needed now from 2 so unless there is an extra, Oman can't lose. Shorter and on off, this is pushed towards cover for one.

Fayyaz Butt To Kyle Christie
Very full and on the pads, Christie looks to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It rolls on the off side for one. Singles won't do it for Hong Kong. The umpire signals it as a leg bye so there was no inside edge.

Mohammad Nadeem To Scott McKechnie OUT!
OUT! LBW! Plumb in front. McKechnie is out of here and that is probably the final nail in the coffin. SM shuffles right across and Nadeem bowls it very full and on middle. Scott looks to whip it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. End of a good knock from him. He fought a lone battle but needed to continue. 33 needed in 22.

In the air... dropped! FOUR! A tremendous effort though one can say. McKechnie comes down the track and looks to go downtown. Fails to get the timing right. Long on runs to his left, dives with one hand stretched out. It hits the fingertips and then rolls towards the fence. A boundary to start the over, ideal one.

Zeeshan Maqsood To Scott McKechnie
In the air... SAFE! Flighted delivery, landing full around off, McKechnie jumps down the track to go downtown but fails to middle his shot properly. It balloons in the air over extra cover and the long off fielder charges from the deep. It falls just in front of him and the batsmen cross for a couple of runs.

Khawar Ali To Ehsan Khan OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! The wrong shot and that brings about the downfall. Misreads the length and the line. This is the straighter one on middle, it skids through. Ehsan Khan looks to play the late cut but there is not enough room for that shot. He misses and the off pole is hit. 7 down and now the task looks very tough for Hong Kong.

DROPPED! Skipper puts down a dolly! Tossed up ball around off, Arshad rotates his wrists to attempt for a flick shot but closes the face of the bat early. It pops out back to the bowler off the leading edge and Maqsood drops a sitter in his followthrough. It bursts through his hands and deflects towards mid on. The bowler runs after it and the batsmen switch ends.

Bilal Khan To Haroon Arshad
Goes short now and on off, it is guided to the right of short third man. The fielder quickly gets to his right to make the stop and Arshad is sent back by his partner. First over of the chase where a wicket has not fallen.

Bilal Khan To Haroon Arshad
FOUR! That went past the leg pole by a whisker! Almost another one for Bilal. This is fuller and outside off, it comes back in after hitting the deck. Haroon looks to drive but ends up getting an inside edge which goes past the leg pole and down to the fine leg fence.

That is a beauty! Showing all his variations here. A dipping slower one, fuller and outside off. McKechnie is way too early into the stroke and misses it by a long way.

Fayyaz Butt To Simandeep Singh OUT!
OUT! In the air... taken! Bilal Khan is the catcher! He is everywhere at the moment. You just can't keep him out of the game. A short one on middle, Singh looks to pull but the bounce gets big on him. He only manages a top edge which goes high up in the air towards short fine leg where Khan takes a dolly. Half the side back in the hut for Hong Kong within 4 overs.

Fayyaz Butt To Scott McKechnie
Play and a miss! Outswinger this time. On a length and outside off, Scott initially look to push inside the line but then decides late to withdraw his bat. A very late decision that, nearly took the outside edge.

Bilal Khan To Simandeep Singh
FOUR! A boundary off the hat-trick ball! Looks to bowl another yorker but ends up bowling a full toss. Singh works it through mid-wicket and bags a boundary. End of an action-packed over. 2 wickets and 6 runs from it!
Simandeep Singh is in at number 6 and gets ready to face the hat-trick ball.

Bilal Khan To Waqas Barkat OUT!
Out? Not out? OUT! Well, the umpire has given it eventually! LBW! Waqas goes first ball. Hong Kong now in tatters. Two in two for Bilal Khan. Another one of those full inswingers. This seems to be a little too straight though. Barkat fails to put bat on ball and is hit on the pads. An appeal goes up. The umpire starts to move across to his left but then decides to lift his finger. That's a very late decision. He, in fact, tries to put his finger down also but eventually has given the striker out. Bilal Khan is bowling a dream spell, he is on a hat-trick.
Waqas Barkat is the new batsman with Hong Kong in all sorts of trouble.

Bilal Khan To Aizaz Khan OUT!
OUT! KABOOM! Knocked him over! Three wickets in the 16 balls bowled and Oman right on top now. This is a gem of a delivery. Unplayable. An inswinging yorker. Can't do a lot about that one. It starts from outside off and comes back in late. Aizaz can't bring his bat down in time and the stumps behind are shattered. 122 needed in 104.

A little too straight again. The batter looks to flick but misses. It hits the pads and rolls towards fine leg. An appeal by the bowler as the batters take one. Nothing from the umpire. Leg bye signaled.

Fayyaz Butt To Kinchit Shah OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Two down in the second over are Hong Kong and Oman are pumped up here. An unlucky dismissal one can say. It is full and tailing back in onto the pads. Shah flicks it nicely but does not keep it down and it goes straight to the fielder at short fine leg. Had it been to the left or the right of that fielder, it would have been a boundary. Kinchit Shah fails to make an impact with the bat. 126 more needed.

On the shorter side to begin! Khan pulls it past mid on. The fielder from mid off hares after it. He fumbles and an extra run is conceded.

Bilal Khan To Kinchit Shah
Close shave! A direct hit was needed! We saw Hong Kong hit the stumps when needed and Oman would have to do the same. This is shorter and around off, it is guided towards point. The non-striker wants a run but is sent back. The fielder picks the ball up and has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses.

Bilal Khan To Kinchit Shah
Squares him! That is an unplayable delivery, that too first up. This one starts coming into the off pole and then leaves the batter late. Shah plays all around it and luckily for him, it beats the outside edge and the off pole.
Kinchit Shah is the new batsman.

Bilal Khan To Nizakat Khan OUT!
OUT! Boom! The off stump takes a beating! Just the kind of start Oman wanted! Bilal is a delighted man. He gets a fuller length ball to curl back into the batsman off the seam. He pitches it around off, Nizakat has a flash at it without moving his feet and is beaten comprehensively. The stumps are shattered and Bilal has drawn first blood.
