T20 WORLD CUP – OMN beat PNG: Skipper Zeeshan Maqsood and openers shine as Oman registers 10 wickets win over PNG
Earlier, Opting to bowl, Oman restricted Papua New Guinea at 129/9 on the back of some excellent bowling performances, especially from skipper Zeeshan Maqsood (4-20). Papua New Guinea, who is making their ICC global tournament debut had a shaky start as both the openers departed for a duck.
Charles Amini and skipper Asad Vala then took the charge and added eight runs for the partnership before Amini, unfortunately, got run-out due to a mix-up. Asad Vala went on to score a fifty and finished as the top scorer for his side, scoring 56 off 43. Barring three batsmen, none of the PNG batters manage to score in double digits.
Zeeshan Maqsood’s 4-20, including three wickets in an over, is the best bowling figure for any Oman player in T20Is. Apart from the skipper, Bilal Khan and Kaleemullah picked up two wickets each.
