Ireland put in a good performance with the ball as they bowled Oman out for 91, before heavy rain brought a premature end to proceedings at Stormont.
Ireland put in a great performance with the ball as they bowled Oman out for 91, before heavy rain brought a premature end to proceedings at Stormont.
Final Scorecard
George Dockrell and Alex Cusack picked up three wickets each, as the Ireland bowling attack dominated from the off at Stormont. John Mooney was also in the wickets, picking up 2-15 from his three overs, while there was a wicket apiece for Tyrone Kane and Kevin O’Brien.
Dockrell in particular caused the Oman batsmen all sorts of problems as he extracted good turn and bounce, only conceding 15 runs off the four overs he bowled from the Dundonald end. While Cusack again showed why he is one of Ireland’s finest T20 bowlers picking up wickets at the top and bottom of the innings.
Just as Dockrell claimed an excellent catch on the mid-wicket boundary off Cusack to end the Oman innings in 18.5 overs, the heavens opened bringing the match to a close with no prospect of the players getting back on the field before the cut off time.
Ireland are in action in their first group match at the same venue on Friday against Namibia, where play gets underway at 10am. Tickets for that clash are available to purchase online here, and at the ground on the day.
