Adam Zampa now has the most four-wicket hauls by any bowler at the men's T20 World Cup. He is also now on 44 wickets at the T20 World Cup, which is the second-most behind Shakib Al Hasan (50)

Australia racing away

Pace, I fear, is not doing the job for Oman. Head lays into Shafiq, drilling him through covers twice in two balls before absolutely smoking a pull to deep square leg on the bounce. Marsh then gets his second six of the innings by helping Shafiq off his hips and over deep backward square leg, which forces a smile from Head. Marsh then goes after Shakeel as Australia bring up fifty in 4.1 overs before Head also goes through point to help Australia fly away.

Australia won by 9 wickets (with 62 balls remaining)

Congratulations to Australia

Jiten Ramanandi to Josh Inglis, FOUR, lofted back over the bowler's head and that is a dominant show from the Aussies. They win the game by 9 wickets

Australia saved their best for last, but unfortunately for them, it ultimately counted for nothing. Opting to bowl first, they were sharp from the very first delivery and completely dismantled Oman’s batting line-up, bundling them out inside 17 overs with a clinical all-round bowling effort. Adam Zampa led the charge with a superb four-wicket haul, while Xavier Bartlett and Glenn Maxwell picked up two wickets each. Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Ellis chipped in with one apiece to complete a dominant bowling performance.

A thumping and crushing run-chase by the Aussies. Marsh smashed the ball to all parts on his way to a 33-ball 64. Head was not shabby either, with Inglis walking out at the end and applying the finishing touches. Oman never really looked to be in the contest, and their bowling display only highlighted the gulf in quality that remains, even if Australia, through this T20 World Cup, were nowhere near their best.

Adam Zampa | Player of the Match: To be honest, mate, it’s been a really tough few days. There are some pretty quiet voices around the group right now. We’re feeling flat about the World Cup ending so early for us. We genuinely felt we’d built something over the last few years and had a clear brand of cricket we believed would stand up. Unfortunately, when the pressure came, it just didn’t work for us. So it’s disappointing. I think that did happen a little bit. But looking back, I also feel I could’ve done more - particularly in that game where we were one for 110. You’d expect a much bigger total than 180 from that position. My contribution in that match wasn’t where I wanted it to be, and I’m not happy with that. As I said, players sitting on me definitely played a part, but from my point of view, I could’ve executed better, especially in the last game. My job is to take wickets through the middle overs. I managed to do that in a couple of games, but not consistently enough. We’ve built something over the last few years, and in big tournaments everyone has to play their role. Unfortunately, when it mattered most, we couldn’t quite get it done. You’d always rather take wickets than not, but honestly, it’s not really on my mind right now. I’m pretty disappointed overall. I’m certainly not ready to be flying home tomorrow.
