MATCH RECAP
Follow UsJofra Archer’s accuracy and pace
Archer (3/12) began the wicket procession for England by getting opener Pratik Athavale and skipper Aqib Ilyas quickly. He later picked on the last Oman wicket to fall as well.
Mark Wood beats everyone by pace
Like Archer, Wood’s average speed in this game was well north of 140 clicks, and he also picked up three Oman batters for just 12 runs.
Oman’s obliteration by pace
Oman lost the majority of its batting order to Archer and Wood's pace. They targeted the length and back of a length area and kept bowling there at a high pace, and Oman batters fell behind in terms of skill to combat that.
Rashid puts the last nail in the coffin
Rashid (4/11) did a spectacular job of cleaning up Oman's lower order. His googlies and leg breaks were incomprehensible to the opposition. His spell ensured that Oman were all out for just 47.
England’s hasty chase
Looking to leapfrog Scotland in terms of NRR, skipper Jos Buttler (24 off 8) led England’s charge that saw them chase 48 in just 19 deliveries.
