How will India play against Pakistan?
Shakeel Ahmed struck early, removing Tim Tector, Ross Adair and Harry Tector, while veteran Aamir Kaleem added to Ireland’s problems by dismissing Curtis Campher. Oman looked to be in control at that stage, but the dynamic changed completely once Tucker settled down.Tucker played a sensational knock as he smashed 94 off just 51 balls with 10 fours and four sixes. He managed to build a crucial partnership of 101 runs with Gareth Delaney who scored a quick 56 to steady the innings. Later, Tucker and George Dockrell launched a brutal late onslaught and added 70 runs in just 19 balls. Dockrell’s explosive 35 from nine balls included five sixes and Ireland made a run in the final overs, scoring 86 runs in the last four overs. Their innings ended at a massive 235 for five, the highest team total of the tournament so far.In response, Oman put up a fight through Aamir Kaleem (50) and Hammad Mirza (46), but the chase collapsed once both were dismissed. Eight Omani batsmen failed to reach double figures and the team were bowled out for 139 in 18 overs. Josh Little led the bowling with figures of 3 for 16, supported by Matthew Humphreys, Barry McCarthy and George Dockrell.Despite the big win, Ireland remained fourth in the group, while Oman suffered their third straight defeat.
