Marcus Stoinis has joined Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson in an exclusive club by becoming only the third player to score a half-century and take at least three wickets in the Men’s T20 World Cup. Barbados roared ahead against Oman despite a tough match at Kensington Oval. Australia from early scare against Oman. All-rounder Stoinis Shines as Australia Dominates Oman.

A final victory of 39 runs could mean a great victory for a team that wants to hold all three ICC trophies simultaneously. However, Australia faced some problems with the bat, relying on Stoins and David Warner to reach 164 runs.

Stoinis’ dangerous  innings in the 15th Over

Oman’s bowling stopped Australia in the middle. But the situation has changed dramatically in the last 15 years. Despite being caught out early, Stoinis showed his strength and took four wickets in one over. Stoinis’ dangerous performance of 26 runs completely turned the atmosphere in favor of Australia. He put pressure on them to finish the innings successfully and score more in the innings.

A Powerful start for Australia in the power play

Batting first, Australia got off to a cautious start in the powerplay overs. Despite Travis Head hitting an early boundary from the first ball, Barbados’ slow pitch did not suit their aggressive batting style. Bilal Khan struck four more scalps before getting out in the third over. Oman bowled somewhat tough in the rest of the powerplay. He deftly stopped David Warner and Mitchell Marsh from hitting boundaries, restricting the 2021 champions to just 37 off the first six overs.

There was a significant change in momentum in the latter stages of the power play. Australia regained momentum after Warner sent Mehran Khan to a free-hit full toss for four. Captain Marsh clean sweeps Aaqib Ilyas in the eighth over.

But Oman’s bowlers, especially their captain Mehran Khan, had other plans. He tightened his grip in the next 30 balls and hit a boundary successfully. In the ninth over, the pressure eased as Marsh and Maxwell were dismissed one after the other. Marsh misses a rising shot but Maxwell’s struggle continues with a golden duck, brilliantly caught by Elias at diving cover.

At the end of the 12th over, Australia were at 63/3 at a precarious pace. The turning point eventually came when Warner broke the tie by hitting Zeeshan Maqsood for two consecutive fours. The mistake happened in the 15th over of the innings when Stones went all out in Mehran’s last over. A dropped catch by Ayan Khan at long-off proved crucial as Stoinis showed his prowess by hitting three huge sixes to plunder an impressive score of 26, swinging the momentum in Australia’s favour.

Stoinis Unstoppable

Unleashing his power after the crucial dropped catch, Stoinis dominated the death overs. He effortlessly cleared the ropes, showcasing his ability to manipulate the field. When faced with straight boundaries for his powerful groundstrokes, he cleverly shifted across the crease, finding gaps on the leg side. Oman’s full-toss offerings were also dispatched ruthlessly, with Stoinis completing a rapid 27-ball fifty by pulling a Bilal Khan delivery over deep mid-wicket. Warner, though taking slightly longer (46 balls), joined the party with a six to reach his fifty. The veteran opener, now Australia’s highest run-scorer in T20Is surpassing Aaron Finch, eventually departed for a well-made 56. However, Stoinis remained unbeaten on a belligerent 36-ball 67, guiding Australia to a well-above-par total of 164. All-rounder Stoinis Shines as Australia Dominates Oman

Oman’s Chase Stutters Early

Oman’s chase never really got going. Despite a momentary spark with a boundary off the first ball by Prajapati, their hopes were dented by Mitchell Starc‘s early breakthrough. A review confirmed an LBW dismissal for Athavale off Starc’s delivery. Oman lost two more wickets in the powerplay, both to seam bowling. Prajapati was trapped LBW by Ellis attempting a flick, while Aqib Ilyas edged a Stoinis delivery to the keeper after a brief six over deep square leg.

Oman Show Occasional Resistance But Fall Short

Stoinis continued his impressive outing with another wicket in the middle overs, dismissing Zeeshan Maqsood who edged a sweep shot to the keeper. Ayaan Khan provided a brief glimmer of hope with a couple of boundaries off Ellis, but Oman found themselves at a precarious 48/4 halfway through their chase. Starc returned to remove Khalid Kail, while Adam Zampa picked up his 300th T20 wicket by yorking Shoaib Khan.

Oman Avoid Whitewash But Fall Short

With the score at 75/6 after 15 overs, an Australian whitewash seemed likely. However, Ayaan Khan (36) and Mehran Khan (27) offered some late resistance. Ayaan smashed a couple of sixes off Zampa before being dismissed, while Mehran took on the bowlers with a six and a four off Hazlewood, followed by another six off Ellis. He eventually fell to Stoinis’ third wicket, a well-judged catch by Tim David in the deep. Oman managed to avoid being bowled out, reaching 125/9, but fell short of the target by 39 runs.

Trumpelmann Rocks Oman Early

Namibia got off to a dream start thanks to left-arm quick Ruben Trumpelmann, who swung the new ball beautifully. He trapped both openers, Kashyap Prajapati and captain Aqib Ilyas, leg before with full deliveries on the very first two balls of the match. Naseem Khushi, the other opener, followed suit in Trumpelmann’s next over, mistiming a big shot and handing a comfortable catch to Namibian captain Gerhard Erasmus at mid-off. Oman were reeling at 36/3 inside the PowerPlay.

Oman Rebuild, Struggle to Push On

Zeeshan Maqsood, Oman’s number four, provided some resistance with four boundaries in the remaining overs of the PowerPlay, taking Oman to a score of 36/3. However, their hopes of a significant recovery were dashed by left-arm spinner Bernard Sholtz, who trapped Maqsood LBW in the seventh over. A cautious partnership between Khalid Kail and Ayaan Khan followed, but it was short-lived as Erasmus dismissed Khan in the 12th over. Oman managed just one six and one four in the middle overs, struggling to score freely against Namibia’s disciplined bowling attack.

Oman Falter in the Death Overs

The death overs saw another collapse for Oman. Namibia’s skipper Erasmus, bowling with a touch of guile, trapped Mohammad Nadeem LBW, leaving Oman with very few reviews left. Khalid Kail, who looked to accelerate the scoring, was caught and bowled by Wiese after hitting a big six off a slower ball. Wiese continued his wicket-taking spree, dismissing Mehran Khan two balls later. Trumpelmann returned to clean up the tail, picking up his career-best figures of 4/21, as Oman limped to a below-par total of 109 in 19.4 overs. Wiese completed a three-wicket haul for Namibia.

Namibia’s Measured Chase

Namibia’s chase began cautiously. They lost Michael van Lingen early, playing onto his stumps off Bilal Khan’s bowling. However, the second-wicket pair of Nikolaas Davin and Jan Frylinck steadied the ship with a measured approach. The slow track offered assistance to the spinners, with Shakeel Ahmed getting some turn and bounce with his left-arm deliveries.

Oman Fight Back, Super Over Looms

Davin tried to break the shackles by hitting a six off Aqib Ilyas’ off-spin, but was dismissed the next ball after miscuing another big shot. Oman introduced more spin into their attack, with Zeeshan Maqsood also bowling left-arm spin. The pressure paid off as Ayaan Khan dismissed Erasmus in the 15th over, who took a risky chance in pursuit of a quick score. Namibia’s chase became a touch more tense, with Frylinck carrying the fight.

Dramatic Finish Forces a Super Over

Needing 32 runs off 30 balls at the start of the death overs, Namibia found themselves in a precarious position. However, Frylinck continued to anchor the chase. Just when it seemed Oman were on the verge of victory, Mehran Khan provided a double breakthrough in the 18th over, dismissing JJ Smit. David Wiese, the hero of the match, arrived at the crease and smashed a six off Bilal Khan in the penultimate over, giving Namibia a glimmer of hope. Bilal bounced back with some excellent yorkers, leaving Oman with a manageable target of 5 runs to defend in the final over.

Mehran Khan started the final over brilliantly, dismissing Frylinck LBW and Zane Green in quick succession. With Namibia needing 4 runs off 2 balls, Khan almost sealed the win for Oman, beating Wiese’s outside edge. However, a fumble by the wicket-keeper allowed the batters to steal a single and level the scores, forcing a Super Over.

Wiese Stars in the Super Over

Wiese continued his dominance, hitting a four off the first ball of the Super Over bowled by Bilal Khan and a six over long-on off the second ball. Erasmus finished things off with two consecutive fours, setting a target of 21 runs for Oman to win.

Oman opted for Bilal Khan instead of Mehran Khan, who had brought them to the Super Over. Wiese cut Bilal’s first ball for four before taking a full-toss for a six. Oman needed just 11 runs off 4 balls, but Wiese returned to bowl. Namibia Steals the Show in Dramatic Super Over Finish
