Maqsood's 58 helps Oman finish on a high

After a rocky start in the field, Imran Haider's prayers were answered with three wickets Peter Della Penna

Oman finished their WCL Division Two campaign on a high after completing a two-wicket win against Kenya in Windhoek. Chasing 183 (adjusted by D/L method) after bowling Kenya out for 200, Oman's lower-middle order rallied together to see their team through with five balls to spare.

Kenya finished the tournament without a win, but came close to victory against Oman. Fighting twenties from Mohammad Nadeem (20) and Jay Odedra (23*) ensured, however, that Oman finished on top. Their chase started off well despite losing an early wicket. Zeeshan Maqsood's 58 took Oman close to hundred, but a middle-order collapse saw them reduced to 138 for 6 in the 30th over. The lower order, however, kept stitching together useful partnerships to keep Oman's run-chase on course, and a late flurry from Kaleemullah (five-ball 11) saw Oman through.
