Congratulations to Ireland for winning the match.

Lorcan Tucker, Player of the Match: "Felt like we had a mixed-bag, hit a lot of boundaries but lost a lot of wickets. A little bit tougher than batting at the start. Had to put in a lot of work on batting against spin. It was about keeping my tempo and capitalising on bad balls for boundaries. We got through the tricky middle period and came back strongly with Dockrell as well."

Congratulations to Lorcan for winning the Player of the march award.

And then Oman came out firing with the bat with Kaleem leading the charge. But once the field restrictions were lifted, Ireland found their lengths, Little had a big impact after the initial phase. He finished with three wickets after being the fifth bowler to be introduced. Oman couldn't find another wind after that Kaleem-Mirza partnership and collapsed quite quickly after that.

2:27pm Ireland earn their first points of the men's T20 World Cup 2026. They were thoroughly tested with both bat and ball but have managed to come back really well. First they lost three wickets inside the powerplay after being asked to bat. Tucket, Delany and then Dockrell ensured they finished really strongly, thanks to their power-hitting. Tucker, the stand-in captain, led from the front with an unbeaten 94, his joint-highest T20I score.

Jatinder Singh, Oman captain: "Since it was a new track, we wanted to bowl first. When we took the two wickets, we were in the game. They built a partnership after ten overs. Credit to Tucker. We tried to execute our plans but failed. The message in the chase was simple, go and chase the target. Had to play some strokes. Lost too many wickets for some 25 runs at the end. Have to keep our heads high. We lack experience and exposure, and we can gain that by playing the top sides."

My gosh Ireland made 235 baprey anyways Ireland won by 96 runs congrats
