The eighth match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will see Oman locking horns with UAE in a Group B encounter. The Bulawayo Athletic Club in Bulawayo will play host to this game on Wednesday, June 21.
Oman had a perfect start to their campaign as they secured a five-wicket victory over Ireland in their opening fixture of the tournament. Bowling first, Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt picked up two wickets apiece as they restricted the Irish team to a below-par total of 281/7 in 20 overs.
In response, Kashyap Prajapati played a patient knock of 72 runs off 74 balls to help them get off to a brilliant start in the powerplay. Aqib Ilyas (52) and Zeeshan Maqsood (59) also chipped in with important fifties as Oman successfully chased down the target with 11 balls to spare.
UAE, on the other hand, had a horrible start to the tournament as they suffered a humiliating 175-run loss against Sri Lanka in their opening fixture. Bowling first, the bowlers failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as they conceded a mammoth total of 355/6 in 20 overs.
In reply, Wanindu Hasaranga single-handedly destroyed the batting unit of UAE and picked up six wickets as the team got bundled for just 180 runs in 39 overs. Muhammed Waseem (39) and Vriitya Aravind (39) top-scored for the team with the bat.
