Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Pakistan managed to post a fighting total of 160/7 in their 20 overs. Mohammad Haris stood out with a fluent 66-run knock, anchoring the innings with his aggressive stroke play. Haris’ innings kept Pakistan afloat even as Oman’s bowlers maintained tight lines.

Farhan, who was expected to provide stability in the middle order, looked unsettled before falling to Kaleem’s sharp reflexes. His dismissal highlighted Pakistan’s struggle to build lasting partnerships throughout the innings.

For Oman, Kaleem turned out to be the star with the ball. The experienced left-arm spinner used his variations smartly on a surface offering some grip and returned with impressive figures of 3/31 from his four overs. Kaleem’s spell not only contained runs in the middle overs but also provided key breakthroughs, including the prized wicket of Farhan. His performance ensured that Pakistan could not fully capitalize on Haris’ innings and push the score well beyond 170.
