Sometimes there are some matches whose results are not entirely surprising, and this match was one of them. It was a much anticipated match. It looked like the Canadian team would play a bit slow in the beginning, but then make a strong comeback and build a good partnership to reach a good score, and the Oman team could not go past the score of 210 , 215.
And this is what we got to see in this match. Now if we talk about the first phase of the match, i.e. the first 10 overs, then Canada scored 21 runs here for the loss of two wickets. There Oman scored 35 runs and lost four wickets.
If we look at the first phase, Canada had an advantage because Oman lost four wickets. Now talking about 11 to 40 overs, here Canada scored 172 runs for the loss of two wickets while Oman scored 165 runs for four wickets. At a loss. This phase remained in the name of Canada.
Then if we talk about 41 to 50 overs i.e. death phase, here Canada scored 83 runs for the loss of four wickets while Oman could only score 18 runs and their team could only play till 46 overs. Canada’s batting was excellent, especially. Especially in the middle overs, where Harsh and Nicholas formed a formidable partnership. This partnership put Canada in a strong position and helped them post a big score.
Canada’s opening batsmen Arun Johnson and Naveen Dhariwal did not score much, but then Harsh and Nicholls took over in the middle order and formed an excellent partnership. Talking about Oman’s bowling, they did well in the beginning. Performance showed, but as the ball turned, Oman’s bowlers seemed to struggle. Oman’s bowlers bowled well with the new ball, but failed to capitalize on the old ball and the Canadian batsmen took advantage of it.
No special performance was seen in Oman’s batting either. Their openers failed miserably and were dismissed early. There was no significant partnership in the middle order either, and Oman could not reach the target of 215 runs.
Canada’s bowlers put in a strong performance and did not allow any of Oman’s partnerships to flourish. Team Canada got another great victory at their home ground and Oman team once again showed their weaknesses and lost the match. Overall it was an expected result and the Canadian team played a great game.
