In their latest game, England’s batting lineup managed to score 165/6 in their allotted 20 overs while chasing a target of 202 runs. Openers Jos Buttler (42 runs) and Phil Salt (37 runs) laid a solid foundation by putting together 73 runs in the first 7 overs during the powerplay. Although Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone contributed valuable runs, England’s middle order couldn’t turn their starts into substantial scores.

On the bowling side, England found it challenging to restrain the opposition, allowing 201 runs in their 20 overs. Jofra Archer stood out with his figures of 4-0-28-1, while Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid took wickets but had difficulty containing the run rate in the middle overs, giving away a combined total of 86 runs in 8 overs. Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone also bowled key overs.

Meanwhile, in their last match, Oman was limited to 150/7. Pratik Athawale Obuya was the top scorer with 54 runs, with Ayaan Khan adding a valuable 41 runs. Although Mehran Khan and Khalil Aqib made notable contributions during the tournament, Oman’s bowlers struggled to make a significant impact. Despite Bilal Khan, Mehran Khan, and Aqib Ilyas each taking a wicket, they couldn’t exert enough pressure to disrupt the opposition’s batting rhythm.
