Scotland vs Oman, Match 16
25th June, 12:30 PM IST
Bulawayo Athletic Club, Zimbabwe
Both teams are coming into this game with contrasting results. While Scotland registered a big win in their previous match against UAE, Oman suffered an embarrassing defeat against Sri Lanka in their previous encounter.
Scotland faced a challenging start, losing four wickets in quick succession with less than 50 runs on the board. However, skipper Richie Berrington led from the front with an outstanding century, receiving support from Mark Watt lower down the order. Their efforts propelled Scotland to a commendable total of 282 runs. UAE, on the other hand, struggled to build partnerships and failed to convert promising starts into substantial contributions. Eventually, they were bowled out for a mere 171 runs, resulting in a comprehensive 111-run victory for Scotland.
Oman, on the other hand, had a disappointing outing against Sri Lanka. With only three batsmen managing to reach double-digit scores, Oman got bundled out for a mere 98 runs. Sri Lanka cruised to victory without losing a single wicket, reaching the target in just 15 overs.

The surface at the Bulawayo Athletic Club is better for batters than bowlers. However, spin bowlers might cause difficulties because the pitch can make the ball spin and bounce unexpectedly. It would be better for teams to try and chase the target in this venue. The average score for the team batting first is 255.
