00:00First boundary for Sri Lankaray.
00:03Segera looked patient in that first over, but this time, just given a bit of space,
00:07hitting it on the up and over that fielder at short cover.
00:12That's a good start from the youngster.
00:14He'll want to get things going fast, not want to get bogged down like he did in the previous over.
00:22He's hit solidly, but it was in the air for a long time, but found the gap.
00:27Now, I don't think Jane will mind too much.
00:33I'm going to go aerial on him, straight at this time, but Fuller in length.
00:39Double chance gone begging for Aman, make it three for the single.
00:44Again, aerial, and I think he's got plenty on that one.
00:51Yeah, that's exactly what Sinead Jayawadhana likes to do.
00:54Likes to go over the top, particularly on that offside.
00:58And he would have been itching to get back on strike.
01:00Hasn't had strike for a little while with Segera not being...
01:07Goes the slower ball, but it's a big, fat, pie-full toss.
01:11One bounce over the ropes for another boundary.
01:13Three fours to round out the over.
01:15Looking to go with the slower one here, and just a dolly.
01:31So he runs piling on in the second for Sri Lanka, eh?
01:35Went for a couple off the first.
01:38Again, short in the air.
01:39Finds a gap again, though, as the runs continue to rain here at CCC.
01:44Living dangerously, Segera, but he finds the gap once again.
01:49Just bisecting the field on the offside.
01:52Finds another boundary.
01:53So it's been a really good start for Sri Lanka, eh, so far.
01:59No fear.
02:04And that's again, Tal, the bat.
02:06Is it going to carry into the deep?
02:08It is!
02:09Yes, and finally, they find the wicket.
02:11Faisal gets the breakthrough.
02:12Sri Lanka lose their first on 23.
02:14Sinead Jaiwadhana trying to go over the top just doesn't find the middle of the bat.
02:19And that's good captaincy from Oman.
02:21They got that fielder out at deep point.
02:24Knowing that the left-hander was wanting to go over the top,
02:28is not able to get all of it.
02:29And that's a good catch in the deep.
02:33He got more carry than I was expecting, actually.
02:35I thought it was about to fall short.
02:37Not long boundaries here at CCC.
02:40Easy catch in the end.
02:42Field, Pereira, catching extra cover.
02:45Shuffles across.
02:46And that's gone flying through about third slip.
02:48Can't get cut off by the deep third.
02:50Another risky boundary.
02:51But it's more runs for Sri Lanka.
02:53Halfway through the power play.
02:54They're now 27 for one.
03:08It was a little expensive, that over Faisal, but he got the breakthrough.
03:12Quicks.
03:14Wide on the crease.
03:16And puts it in the slot.
03:18We'll just wait for the confirmation.
03:20It was very close all the way.
03:21First maximum of the innings for Sri Lanka.
03:24Seguira is looking good out in the middle.
03:27He's just clearing his foot.
03:29Taking on the bowlers.
03:31Once again, first ball from the spinner.
03:34Just gets down on one knee and lofts it over the top of a wide mid-on.
03:40So he's going great.
03:43No fine leg, no deep third.
03:46And it's wide.
03:48And that's going to be four.
03:48Nobody's out there to cut that one off.
03:50That's really poor bowling.
03:53You've got two fielders in the deep on the leg side.
03:56And he just bowls it wide outside the off-stump.
03:58Plenty of space for Pulindu Pereira.
04:01And he finds the gap to get to another boundary.
04:04So reigning boundaries for Sri Lanka.
04:06A at the moment, if he over, seems like they're able to get one or two off the bat.
04:10And he's nicely played along the ground.
04:17Goes straight.
04:18Doesn't get it out of the middle.
04:20So it's over.
04:21We'll see a four off this one.
04:24It could be in the air.
04:25It could be a catch.
04:26But it's not going to go.
04:27Did he get there?
04:28I think he might have.
04:30Wow, what a catch that was from long on.
04:34Brilliant bit of fielding once again.
04:36And Oman, out of nowhere, have picked up their second wicket.
04:42Sri Lanka, eh?
04:43They've looked to be aggressive.
04:46And it's cost them two wickets, hasn't it?
04:48Mohamed Nadim on that occasion.
04:50Ball dipping in front of him.
04:52Just gets his fingers under it.
04:57Another catch in the deep that I thought wasn't going to carry the distance.
05:00Did.
05:01Floated on.
05:02Perhaps there's just a little bit in this pitch for Oman.
05:05And he's getting a few mishits.
05:08Skidding on a touch.
05:11Well, that's wide.
05:12Did he get the edge, though?
05:13He's just swatted it.
05:14Given it the edge.
05:15And Fasal's got a second.
05:16As Sri Lanka, eh?
05:17Lose a third on 41.
05:20Yeah, once again, not a threatening delivery.
05:22Wide outside the off-stamp.
05:24I thought it would be called a wide, in fact.
05:26But given out, just getting a nick off the bat, pulling to Pereira.
05:30He'll be happy with how things have gone so far.
05:32It's a spring in the step for the Amani fielders.
05:37Chopped down.
05:38That's chopped down nicely, in fact.
05:39That's going to find the boundary.
05:41The race is the way backward of point for four.
05:43Lovely shot by Sahan Khosala on that occasion.
05:46He came down the track, perhaps a bit premeditated.
05:50But then, when the ball was pulled out wide, managed to find the gap between the point fielders
05:56and finds the boundary of the power play.
06:00It's been an even one for both sides.
06:02Or could be another wicket at the end of it.
06:04A silly big chop shot to mid-off.
06:06And the catch is taken.
06:09Just as you were saying, it was an even result for the two teams in the power play.
06:15That shot from Pawan Sandesh gives Oman the upper hands of four wickets down.
06:21Sri Lanka A in the power play.
06:22They started so well.
06:23But you've got to say, now, they've got a long way to go.
06:30Gives himself some root on the offside.
06:33And there we go.
06:34Finally, the boundary drought is broken.
06:37Nice cut through cover point for four.
06:40Just as I was talking about Sri Lanka A becoming a little conservative,
06:46makes some room for himself, Khosala, and goes over the top.
06:49But, I've got to say, helped by the bowler, a bit short on...
06:54...generate a single unless you can get backward of square.
06:58And that's popped up in the air.
07:00And taken another great catch in the deep for Oman.
07:02They break the partnership of 23 as Sri Lanka A are half down.
07:07They're 72 for five.
07:10Once again, a brilliant bit of fielding in the deep by the Omanis.
07:14Picking up every opportunity that's come their way since that early miss.
07:19And Sri Lanka now putting themselves deeper and deeper into trouble.
07:23They've lost half their side for 71 runs.
07:27Disappointing walk back to the pavilion from...
07:30Jay Adedra into the attack.
07:35Right arm up for a change.
07:37That's been squirted nicely.
07:40I think it's going to go all the way.
07:41Just trickles over the boundary in the end and they pick up a valuable four.
07:45Yeah, we're seeing a right-armed bowler for the first time since the second over in these innings, I believe.
07:57So...
07:57Good runs flowing this over so far for Sri Lanka A.
08:02Goes Ariel.
08:04Has he got enough on it?
08:05There's a filter in the deep.
08:07Takes the catch.
08:08Gets the breakthrough.
08:09Might have gone for nine.
08:10But Adedra gets his man as Sri Lanka A lose their sixth on 84.
08:15Feels like we're seeing the same over again and again from these Sri Lankan batters.
08:20They're finding the boundary and then just throwing it away with one too many aggressive shots.
08:26Once again, Gamage trying to clear the boundary, finds the fielder in the deep.
08:32And you've got to ask, is that really necessary after getting nine runs off the first three balls of that over?
08:37Probably the easiest catch taken today for Amman by Raman Nandi.
08:43He did have to have a look back.
08:44He wasn't sure how close he's been able to get going so far.
08:49Another wind-up scoop.
08:50Has he found the gap through cow corner?
08:53Yes, he has.
08:54A nice one for Sahan to pick up another boundary.
08:58Manuja Sahan has been trying to find that gap for the last few...
09:01...catching position inside the circle.
09:04There's the full toss, but it's been dispatched.
09:06All the way for a maximum, a much-needed maximum for Sri Lankan.
09:11Just as I say, they have not been able to find the boundary.
09:18Fuller this time.
09:20One's chopped out through deep point.
09:22Little miss field's going to allow them to come back for two.
09:25That's going to be close.
09:27They're not going to get back for two.
09:29Disaster as they lose another wicket on a run-out.
09:31Sachita Jayatilakha on that occasion.
09:36It feels like, or it seems like his bat just got stuck in the ground right at the crease.
09:42But you've got to say...
09:43A little bit of luck going Oman's way.
09:46You saw the bat getting stuck in the turf, but I think he was going to have seen the intent from Sahan.
09:54He tries to go big, but it's gone skied up in the air.
09:58And another catch taken in the deep.
10:00Another wicket to fall.
10:01I tell you what, Aaron, you better keep your eye on the fielders from Oman.
10:08How good have they been?
10:12An ultimate over.
10:13And that's in the air, but it's going to find a gap.
10:16Has it got enough legs?
10:17It does.
10:17Much-needed boundary.
10:20Charming to Vijay Singh on that occasion.
10:22Didn't feel like he got the middle of the bat, but he found the...
10:25Oh, that one, the umpire was in trouble there.
10:30That's a beautiful strike.
10:31Four runs.
10:34Finally finding the middle of the bat, Charming to Vijay Singh, and he finds another boundary.
10:38So it's been a good result for him so far.
10:41He's done his job.
10:41He's got a couple of boundaries in this over, despite Dairus Amaraku not able to get...
10:48Shuffle down.
10:51Goes Ariel.
10:54Gets just enough on it.
10:56Just over the ropes.
10:57Gets the maximum.
11:00The best result.
11:01That's something they can bowl at.
11:04Oh, there's going to be a run-out here, though.
11:07Has gone.
11:08It's a big mix-up.
11:12Lahiru Samarakoon desperate to get on strike.
11:15The last couple of deliveries.
11:19He wasn't fine in the middle of the bat.
11:21Five off six.
11:23Samarakoon.
11:23First managed 145 in the 20 overs after a blistering start.
11:29Oman did brilliantly well in the field to restrict them.
11:33It's a tough bowling condition for the offside field.
11:36Big shot on that occasion from Kaleem.
11:45And he finds the boundary.
11:48Going aerial.
11:52That's a good shot from Kaleem once again.
11:56He finds the boundary.
11:57So, it's a great start from him.
12:00The left-hander is clearing his front foot.
12:02Find the gap on the offside.
12:07He said he didn't know much about that from the delivery of the first day.
12:09He knew all about this one, though.
12:12The sound out of the middle.
12:15We haven't heard a lot.
12:16Sri Lanka were 40 for two in four overs.
12:18Asimali had no idea what happened here.
12:25Watch on the replay.
12:31Mackenzie's got it covered.
12:33One thing it wasn't covered.
12:36Is the middle stump.
12:43Big shot from Amir Kaleem.
12:45Lahiru Samarakoon.
12:47He puts it down in the deep.
12:48He made good ground.
12:50The captain from Sri Lanka.
12:52But just not able to hold on to that catch.
12:55So, disappointment for Sri Lanka.
12:57And it's gone down to the boundary to make things worse.
13:02That all went wrong.
13:04Made good ground.
13:05It was in the air.
13:05Another miss hit that wasn't going to carry.
13:11That's up in the air.
13:13But it's cleared the boundary comfortably.
13:15Amir Kaleem.
13:17He's gone to 50 with that 6.
13:25He's bowled him.
13:27Vanuja Sahan.
13:28Just a straight delivery.
13:30And Sona Wale.
13:31After chatting so well.
13:33And playing such a good support role to Amir.
13:36The left arm wrist spin from Anuka Vijaywardhanabadi pitches it short.
13:44And Kaleem has found the boundary once again.
13:499-2 and over.
13:519.5 overs left in this game so far.
13:56Another brilliant delivery.
13:58And once again, he's made it through the defenses of a right-handed batter, Vanuja Sahan.
14:04And he's continuing to trouble the Omani batters.
14:13Nicely played sweep shot from Amir.
14:15And Kaleem has he found the boundary.
14:16Yes, he has.
14:18Lahiru Samarakoon in the deep.
14:20Can't get to it.
14:21So, Kaleem continues.
14:23This time, Shukla moves onto his off stump.
14:29And he's found a boundary on the leg side.
14:32Just making some room.
14:34Playing that sweep shot.
14:35So expensive.
14:39Full toss.
14:41And that's easy picking.
14:43So, Amir Kaleem has been in such brilliant form.
14:46He's cleared the boundary comfortably.
14:47Big shot.
14:52Up in the air.
14:57That's gone all the way as well.
15:02Beautiful delivery from Vanuja Sahan.
15:04And finally, somebody has made it through the defenses of Amir Kaleem.
15:10He...
15:11...for Sri Lanka Ray.
15:12The damaging Kaleem departs for 80.
15:14And the Mahan now have lost half their side.
15:191.13.
15:23Big shot from Shukla once again.
15:27And once again, he's comfortably cleared the boundary.
15:31So, another six to the captain.
15:35Last delivery of the over.
15:36And it's shot once again.
15:38And he's found the boundary.
15:40Vinayak Shukla, he's enjoyed facing Sachita Jayathilaka.
15:45Picked up another.
15:49Nice shot from Shukla.
15:51Will it find the boundary?
15:52Yes, it does.
15:53Good effort in the deep by the fielder.
15:56But just not able to keep.
15:58And there it is.
16:02The win for Oman.
16:03And rightly coming off the bat of Vinayak Shukla.
16:07Doesn't go for a big shot.
16:09Lahir Samarkun doesn't bring the field in.
16:11So, he's able to find the gap on the offside.
16:14Handshakes all round.
16:15It's been a comfortable chase for Oman.
16:181.46 for 5 in.
16:19Just a bit.
16:20No.
