OUT! Caught. Brad Evans to Nadeem Khan. Slower length ball, wide outside off stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Bennett. That brings an end to Oman's innings, as they are bowled out for 103 runs. The top order failed to make any meaningful contribution. Vinayak Shukla top-scored with 28 runs and received good support from Sufyan Mehmood, who added 25. For Zimbabwe, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans were the standout performers, picking up three wickets each. Can Zimbabwe chase down the target with ease, or will Oman's bowlers put up a tough fight? We'll be back in ten minutes for the chase.
