century with ease. He hit 19 boundaries and an amazing eight sixes
in his 60-ball stay at the crease. Aqeel lent useful support to his partner
with an equally dashing 54 runs off 37 deliveries. Inayat was the
lone successful bowler claiming both the wickets to fall.
Earlier, Jashanmal had done well to put up a challenging 205
for 9 in their allotted 25 overs. Nishantha top scored with 53,
while Nadeem chipped in with 43 and Sulaiman added 23.
None of the other batsmen managed to weather the fierce Oman
Insurance bowling attack and ended up at 205 for 9.
