Scotland Thumped Oman By 8 Wickets After Bundling Them Out In Double Figures
Scotland were on a roll in their ICC CWC League 2 2023-27 fixture against Oman, as they restricted them to the score of 91 inside 22 overs and were tasked to chase an easy target of 92. Charlie Cassell's historic spell completely eliminated Oman's chances of putting up a good score, as only 3 batters managed to get into double figures.
In reply, Scotland, expectedly, made light work of Oman and chased down the target within 18 overs, as the quick chase boosted the side's net run rate and they now sit third in the table with 7 points.
Skipper Richard Berrington smashed the winning boundary and Scotland are now one point shy of table toppers Canada.
