Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Aamir Kaleem b Xavier Bartlett 0 1 0 0 0

0.1

Xavier Bartlett to Aamir Kaleem, OUT! TIMBER! A picture-perfect start for the Aussies. Pitched up, around middle and off, shaping back into the batter, Aamir Kaleem does not move his feet much and swings at it. The ball lands on the seam and nips back into the batter. Aamir gets an inside edge and the ball goes through the gap between the bat and the pad and rattles the leg stump. A golden duck for Aamir Kaleem.

Jatinder Singh (C) b Xavier Bartlett 17 15 3 0 113.33

4.6

Xavier Bartlett to Jatinder Singh, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! A fuller delivery from Xavier Bartlett and Jatinder Singh gets cleaned up. He stays back to a full ball and pushes out in front without any footwork. The ball nips back in to go past the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Third wicket in the Powerplay for Australia.

Karan Sonavale b Nathan Ellis 12 11 2 0 109.09

3.2

Nathan Ellis to Karan Sonavale, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Hard length, pace on this time from Ellis and Karan gets outfoxed. The right-hander hops up on his toes and looks to run this down to the third man region for a single, but the ball cramps him for room, and he is also rushed. Ends up deflecting it back onto the stumps off the face of the blade.

Hammad Mirza b Adam Zampa 16 13 1 1 123.08

7.6

Adam Zampa to Hammad Mirza, OUT! TIMBER! Adam Zampa gets in on the act. Zampa keeps the stumps in play. The ball kisses the deck and skids through. Mirza presses deep in the crease but the ball is not all that short. It goes under his blade and shatters the stumps.

Wasim Ali b Glenn Maxwell 32 33 4 0 96.97

15.3

Glenn Maxwell to Wasim Ali, OUT! CASTLED! Another one bites the dust. The last of the recognised batters falls for Oman. From around the wicket, on a nagging length in line with the off stump. This does not turn at all and slides on with the arm. Ali hangs his bat out without any real conviction. The ball goes past the inside edge and clips the top of the off pole. 5th bowled dismissal of the innings.

Mohammad Nadeem lbw b Adam Zampa 2 3 0 0 66.67

9.5

Adam Zampa to Mohammad Nadeem, OUT! LBW! Australia get the review right. Full and on off, Mohammad Nadeem gets down on a knee and reaches out in front for the paddle. The ball sneaks under the gloves and goes on to hit the crouched back thigh. An appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. Adam Zampa asks Josh Inglis if there was any glove. Mitchell Marsh has a word with the keeper and the bowler and eventually takes the review. No bat or glove involved, confirmed by UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up as three reds with the ball crashing into the top of the middle stump. The on-field decision is overturned.

Vinayak Shukla (W) c Cameron Green b Marcus Stoinis 9 8 1 0 112.5

12.3

Marcus Stoinis to Vinayak Shukla, OUT! CAUGHT! Short again from Stoinis but this time into the right-hander, Vinayak Shukla looks to take on the boundary rider at deep square leg and goes for the pull. Vinayak fails to get enough power behind this and hits this straight into the hands of Cameron Green patrolling the deep square leg region.

Jiten Ramanandi lbw b Glenn Maxwell 1 3 0 0 33.33

13.3

Glenn Maxwell to Jiten Ramanandi, OUT! LBW! 50 T20I wickets for Glenn Maxwell. He bowls this from wide of the crease and around the stumps, slanting it into the batter around middle and leg. Jiten Ramanandi tries to get behind the line and block it out but misses and gets thud onto the front pad. A loud appeal for LBW from the Aussies and the umpire acknowledges this with a raised finger. After some consultation from Ali at the other end, Jiten Ramanandi sends this upstairs. Nothing on the UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat and three reds on the Ball Tracker with the ball thumping into the leg-pole cements the on-field decision of OUT. Pommie Mbangwa informs on air that Glenn Maxwell becomes only the second player in T20Is to achieve the remarkable feat of 50 catches, 50 wickets and 2500 runs, with the other player being Sikandar Raza.

Shakeel Ahmed c Xavier Bartlett b Adam Zampa 3 7 0 0 42.86

16.1

Adam Zampa to Shakeel Ahmed, OUT! CAUGHT! Shakeel Ahmed holes out. Looped by Zampa, full and on off. Shakeel Ahmed spots the ball above his eyeline and he swings through the line. The bat turns a bit in his hand and he mistimes it towards long on. Xavier Bartlett runs across to his right in the deep and slides to take a fine catch. Third wicket for Zampa.

Jay Odedra not out 4 3 1 0 133.33

Shafiq Jan b Adam Zampa 0 1 0 0 0

16.2

Adam Zampa to Shafiq Jan, OUT! BOWLED! Two in two for Adam Zampa. Australia complete the clean-up job. Oman have been bowled out for 104 in 16.2 overs. Zampa offers flight and serves the googly, keeping the stumps in play. Shafiq Jan gets down on a knee and goes hard on the slog sweep. The ball is a bit too full for the shot, and it goes under the bat before crashing into the woodwork. A golden duck for Jan. Zampa ends with a four-wicket haul. Adam now has 44 wickets in T20 World Cups. He is second behind Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan (50), as informed by Mark Howard.

8.1

Shakeel Ahmed to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Shakeel completes the catch and brings out Cristiano Ronaldo's SIUU celebration. Under-cutter, around middle and off, Travis Head goes down on a knee and looks to slog sweep this one. Gets a top edge and the ball hangs high into the dark skies towards the square leg region. Shakeel Ahmed and the keeper both go for it. Shakeel has a look at the keeper but still goes for it. Shoulder barges him and almost drops it, but gets lucky as the ball deflects off his hands onto his chest and he holds onto it.
