Australia vs Oman Scorecard and Highlights: Australia secure their first point of the T20 World Cup after a comfortable 39-run victory over Oman

Australia vs Oman Scorecard and Highlights: Post-match comments

Australia Captain - Mitchell Marsh: Good to get the win. We are kind of going to the old T20 style here in this tournament. Took his time and showed his experience. Starcy was just a cramp so didn't want to take a chance. We are looking forward to playing England. Different conditions

Oman Captain - Ilyas: We tried to defend a low target in the first game and today played a team like Australia. Credit to our bowlers. One catch we messed up and you saw that over being taken for many runs and Stoinis. Media doesn't show the positive things that we saw (smiles). Our bowlers did well. We had a grip on the game till the 14th over. I wanted to take a catch like that against Australia. We messed up our plans. He was hitting straight down the ground easily. We then decided to change the plan and make him hit to the longer side boundary. Hopefully we will turn up better next time. If we can bat well in the powerplay it will be important for us and as a batter I have to do well there.

Marcus Stoinis - Player of the Match: Nice start, we got the win and boys spent some time in the middle and everyone got to bowl. I was trying to soak up the conditions and keep it simple. Couple kept low and couple were spinning for the spinners. It seemed like swing wasn't available, and I was trying to get some bounce with cross-seam deliveries.

Oman will be disappointed with the effort, they will take the positive out of this game and come stronger in their next one.
