another long hop to end this early. Jatinder launches this over midwicket and holds up his arms to celebrate

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
That is game one done. Join us for the second match, a mouthwatering contest between Scotland and Bangladesh coming up soon. Thanks for joining us for this one. Goodbye
5pm Zeeshan Maqsood is the Player of the Match and the winning captain. He says: "Very happy. It is a crucial time for us. They were batting very well when I got the wickets. because we got the wickets, they couldn't put on a big total. I just try to keep it tight and not give away loose balls. We knew the wicket was playing very well, we needed to make sure we didn't give away loose balls and easy boundaries. That run-out by Nadeem turned it around for us. These are our home conditions, we knew even 140 could be chased easily. The wicket plays very well in the second half. Thanks to the supporters and family members at home and everywhere. Our fielding wasn't great and we need to come back strong."
Assad Vala: "It wasn't a good start with the bat, losing two wickets with no runs. But we fought back very well to get in a position to put on a good total. That collapse in the end was very disappointing. On that wicket, 129 was never going to be enough. We were looking at 160-plus to give ourselves a chance. When Charles got run out, then myself getting out, we lost our way. In think a lot of credit goes to Maqsood and his boys."
4.56pm A comprehensive win for Oman there. Finishing it inside 14 overs gives them a net-run-rate boost too should it come down to that. PNG on their debut were rocked early, but they came back from 0 for 2 only to lose their way again in the middle overs. They just lost too many wickets soon after the Vala-Amini partnership. That target of 130 was too low for Oman on this small ground. Jatinder and Ilyas, though, batted superbly to take them home in style. This is the third-highest chase without a wicket lost in all men's T20Is, and also the biggest partnership for Oman for any wicket in men's T20Is

Ravu to Jatinder, SIX runs
full toss on free hit, and he has smashed this over long-on for a six. The fielder. on the fence is tall, he jumps high, but can't get a touch on it. That is fifty for Jatinder, the first for an Omani batter in World Cups
Free hit time

1nb
Ravu to Aqib, (no ball)
full toss, and it is a high full toss. Is it a no-ball?. He has been taken at fine leg so we are checking replays for height. And it is way too high to be a legal delivery. This is a no-ball. Free hit coming up
