Oman, led by Zeeshan Maqsood, started their journey with a couple of thumping wins. But then, Sri Lanka defeated them by 10 wickets in their previous match. Their batters failed to read Wanindu Hasaranga, who picked up his second five-wicket haul in a row.

Oman will be desperate to return to winning ways.
