T20 WC: ‘We Were In The Game Till 10th Over,’ Says Oman Skipper After 96-run Loss To Ireland
T20 World Cup: Oman captain Jatinder Singh admitted his side was at the top in the game till the 10th over of the first innings, where they pushed Ireland to 79/4. Still, Lorcan Tucker turned the contest around with a masterful knock, which led to Oman suffering a 96-run defeat in their third match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Saturday.
Oman had opted to bowl first on a fresh surface but were taken apart by Ireland, who posted a massive 235/5 in 20 overs, with the help of Tucker’s unbeaten 94 and a 101-run partnership with Gareth Delany. In reply, Oman were bowled out for 139 in 18 overs despite a fighting fifty from Aamir Kaleem.
“When we took the four wickets, we were very much in the game. After 10 overs, they built a partnership. Credit goes to Tucker. The way he built the partnership with Delany was masterful. We tried to execute our plans, but we failed to execute, and they were taking over the bowlers,” Jatinder Singh said after the match.
