All-round Oman beat Uganda in style

Kampala, Uganda: Oman defeated Uganda by four wickets after a supreme bowling effort and Jatinder Singh’s half-century in their third match of the World Cricket League Division III tournament in Kampala, Uganda on Friday. Batting first, Uganda were bowled out for a paltry for 144 in 46.3 overs. Bilal Khan (3/28) and Zeeshan Maqsood (3/34) scalped six wickets between them as the hosts were skittled out cheaply.

Captain Sultan Ahmed also chipped in with 22 while Naseem Khushi (14) and Ajay Lalcheta (19) ensured Oman got home without a hassle.
