DRINKS BREAK! Sri Lanka are well on top after a dominant batting display and a clinical start with the ball. Chasing a massive target, Oman are in deep trouble at 36 for 3 inside the Powerplay, with their top order already back in the dugout. They now need 190 runs from 85 balls and the asking rate is skyrocketing. Oman will need a special knock to pull off a miracle from here.

Dushmantha Chameera to Hammad Mirza, OUT! TAKEN! The change of pace does the trick for Dushmantha Chameera. On a length, outside off, and a bit slower too. Hammad Mirza stays back and looks to pull it but gets a top edge. The ball goes miles up in the air. Kamil Mishara at mid-wicket settles underneath it and completes the catch. Oman are 36/3 after 5.5 overs.

Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, On a length, outside off, MN punches it through the covers for a single.

Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, WIDE. Pathirana loses his radar. Goes for the inswinger but spills it way down the leg side. The batter lets it be and the keeper dives full stretch to his left to stop the ball.

Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, On a length, wide outside off, 142.5 kph, Nadeem shoulders arms. This is the difference. Not a single ball crossed 130 kph when Oman's seamers were bowling.

Change? Surprising. Just the one over for Chameera. Matheesha Pathirana has been given the ball. Could it be for a change of ends for Chameera?

Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, Full and outside off, outswing, Mohammad Nadeem reaches out and drives it through the covers for a couple. 209 more needed from 107 balls.

Maheesh Theekshana to Aamir Kaleem, OUT! LBW! That looked pretty close but Kaleem has reviewed it. Full, around off, Aamir Kaleem got down and across to sweep but missed and was hit on the pads. Theekshana appealed and the umpire raised his finger. The two batters had a chat and then Kaleem decided to send it upstairs. UltraEdge detects no wood involved but Ball Tracking comes as a heartbreak. Umpire's call on both, impact and hitting the stumps! Marginally clipping the off stump! Oman don't lose a review but lose 2 wickets in two balls as Aamir Kaleem departs for 6 (5). Mohammad Nadeem walks in at number 4.

Early troubles for Oman as they lose their 10th wicket out of 11 in this tournament to pace. Hammad Mirza walks in next, at number 3, replacing his skipper, Jatinder Singh. Maheesh Theekshana will share the new ball from the other end.

Dushmantha Chameera to Jatinder Singh, OUT! BOWLED! That's a beauty of a nut and Jatinder Singh's game is done. On a length, around middle and off. Jatinder looks to defend but the ball then pitches and nibbles away off the seam. Goes past the outside edge and hits the off stump. Nothing much that any batter could have done on that occasion. Just too good a ball, don a hat to the bowler and walk off. The skipper departs for 1 (2) and Oman are 12/1, needing another 214 runs from 114 balls!

Dushmantha Chameera to Aamir Kaleem, On a length, outside off, pulled towards fine leg for a run.

Dushmantha Chameera to Aamir Kaleem, Direct hit could have had Jatinder. On middle and off, angling away, AK pushes it towards point and sets off for a quick single. His skipper is a bit late in responding as the fielder from point comes charging in. Swoops on the ball but his direct hit goes very wide of the stumps at the striker's end. Could have been four overthrows but the fielder from square leg backs up well.

Dushmantha Chameera to Aamir Kaleem, FIVE WIDES! Good pace and good bounce and would have been a top nut, but for a right hander. On a length, down the leg side, Aamir looks to tuck it away but the ball pitches, seams further down and bounces as well. Beats the bat and the diving keeper to his right as well, racing to the fine leg fence. 217 more needed from 117 balls.

Dushmantha Chameera to Aamir Kaleem, FOUR! That's well played. Chameera goes for a repeat of the previous ball but ends up bowling a half volley down the leg side. Kaleem connects this time and whips it behind square leg for the first run and boundary of the run chase.
