Oman’s sensational opening batsman Jatinder Singh was keen to play against India’s premium fast bowling quick Jasprit Bumrah if his side makes it to the Superleague stages. Oman put up a fantastic all-around performance against the Papua New Guinea side, and their spirited effort was very much visible as well.

They restricted Papua New Guinea to 129 for the loss of 9 wickets in their 20 overs quota and chased down the target in just 13.4 overs. It was a dominating performance from one of the hosts for this T20 World Cup 2021, and they will have their eye on making it to the Super 12 stages now. With Bangladesh losing to Scotland in their opening fixture, Oman now has to win their game against Bangladesh, which will almost seal them a position for the Super 12 stages.
