Coming up next - In the second game of the day, Afghanistan will take on Nepal in a Group A clash, with the first ball at 5 am GMT. A win for Afghanistan will confirm their progression to the next round, while this will be Nepal's first game of the competition, and they will be keen to start well. Do join us early for the build-up to that game. Cheers!
Chase never took off - Making their debut at the Asian Games, Oman were up for the challenge in the field, showing plenty of intent, although they were sometimes a little too eager with the overthrows. They would have had mixed feelings about their bowling effort, knowing that 122 was never going to be an easy target to chase, and so it proved. Oman were blown away inside the Powerplay, with Ayush Shukla wreaking havoc. You do not win many games when you lose 4 wickets in the Powerplay, and the surface only added to Oman's challenge. Sufyan Mehmood was left fighting a lone battle, but the Oman captain could perhaps have taken a few more chances to reduce the margin of defeat.
Bowlers inspire the win - After opting to bat first, Hong Kong, China found themselves in a bit of early trouble. Babar Hayat and Hafeez Khan got a partnership going, but the batting side could not quite build on the platform they had laid. Thanks to Yasim Murtaza and Ehsan Khan, Hong Kong, China reached 121. With the tournament lives on the line, Ayush Shukla produced exactly the kind of performance Hong Kong, China needed. He put on a clinic with the new ball, ripping through Oman and setting the tone for what followed. The spinners then took over and kept the pressure on, putting the chase beyond Oman's reach.
Hong Kong, China stay alive - A defeat would have sent them out, but not only have Hong Kong, China kept themselves in the quarter-final race, they have also improved their net run rate after suffering a heavy defeat in their opening game. This result means that if Oman lose to Malaysia, both Malaysia and Hong Kong, China will progress to the quarter-finals. If Oman win, all three teams will have one win each, and qualification will then come down to net run rate.
