Bangladesh A vs Oman A, Match 5 - Live Cricket Score

Bangladesh A and Oman A will take part in the fifth match of the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 on July 15 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo. Bangladesh A squared off against Sri Lanka A in their previous contest, where Bangladesh A won the flip and elected to field on a surface with plenty to offer for both batters and bowlers. Since the wicket was fresh, Bangladesh bowlers let the Lankans keep the run rate at six even at the end of 30 overs. Soumya Sarkar was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets in his incomplete spell that caused a real setback in restricting the opponent's run flow. It then resulted in a massive chase of 350 runs in 50 overs. A couple of partnerships that extended their chase to 301 for the loss of 10 wickets came from the openers, who provided a 69-run stand followed by a 60-plus-run stand at end-overs, which made them exhibit their fight. They did a great job, and they will look to replicate this.

Oman A was asked to bowl first by their opponent, Afghanistan A, in their first game. Their skipper, Aqib Ilyas, was their standout performer of the day, picking up two wickets and scoring 39 (27) when they lost two early wickets while chasing 267 runs. Four out of six Oman bowlers went above five an over; from 136 for two, they restricted their opponent to 267 for eight. This effort would give them confidence, though they failed to finish the job with the bat as they slumped for 195 runs. Therefore, both teams will look to register their first win in this tournament.
