Oman will be up against Namibia in the fourth game of the five-match T20I series on Friday (April 5) at Al Amerat Cricket Academy Ground, Oman.
The third game of the series saw Oman win the toss and invite Namibia to bat first. The decision certainly went in their favor, as the visitors could not gain momentum throughout their innings. Ruben Trumpelmann (26) and Jan Frylinck (22) were the top contributors, as Nambia posted 101-8 in 20 overs. Fayyaz Butt, Mohammad Nadeem, and Aqib Ilyas picked two wickets each for the hosts.
In reply, wicketkeeper Naseem Khushi provided a brilliant start to the Oman team. He slammed 66 off 40 balls and got support from Ilyas (26* off 13) as they chased down the target in less than 12 overs. Bernard Scholtz and Dylan Leicher took a solitary wicket each for the Namibian team.
