The much-anticipated T20 World Cup warm-up clash between Afghanistan (AFG) and Oman (OMN) was unfortunately called off due to persistent rain. The match, held at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, saw Oman bat first after Afghanistan elected to field.
Despite the looming threat of rain, Oman’s batsmen showcased a commendable display. Aqib Ilyas’ 66 not out was highlight of the innings, while Zeeshan Maqsood provided valuable support with a quickfire 34 runs from just 19 deliveries. The rest of the batting order chipped in with crucial contributions, pushing Oman’s final score to a competitive 154 for 3 after 20 overs. Afghanistan’s bowlers were unable to make significant inroads before the heavens opened.
