Pre-Match Analysis:
Bowlers did it for Qatar as they came out on top by 19 runs (D/L method) in the rain-shortened game against Bahrain. Asked to bat first, Qatar just made 138 runs at the end of 20 overs with valuable contributions from Muhammad Tanveer and Himanshu Rathod. Due to rain, the overs were reduced and the target was brought down to 124 in 17 overs, in response to that, bowlers were up for the task of keeping Bahrain for paltry 104 runs with Muhammad Jabir and Himanshu Rathod picking up 2 wickets apiece. Bowlers have done their part and it’s time for their batters to show up in this match.
Oman got a heartbreak early on in the tournament as they endured a 22-run loss against UAE on Saturday. They struggled totally to pick wickets early on and their first breakthrough came in at the end of 11 overs however they already leaked 118 runs and later they somehow kept the opposition for 191 runs. They kind of had their chance in the run-chase when skipper Aqib Ilyas was going well but his well-made 90 runs weren’t sufficient in front of a massive target and they fell short of 22 runs in the end.
