Mohammad Nadeem concedes nine runs off his second over, but Samay Shrivasthava is punished for even more runs in his over that follows. Ayush Badoni goes ruthless against Samay, as he gets India A to their 100-run mark in less than 10 overs. Five of the six balls in Samay’s over go for boundaries, as 24 runs come off it. India need just 37 runs from 60 balls to win.

India A 62/2 after 7 overs (Target 141)

India A 18/0 after 2 overs (Target 141)

It’s spin from the other end as Jay Odedra is brought into the attack by Oman. He seems to be struggling with his line and length, and as a result, he concedes a couple of boundaries with Abhishek scoring freely. Eleven runs off the over.

India A 7/0 after 1 over (Target 141)

Right. India’s chase of 141 runs is underway. Abhishek Sharma and Anuj Rawat are India A’s openers. Muzahir Raza is into the attack. Both the openers are off the mark with a single. Seven runs off the first over.

Oman 123/4 after 18 overs

Rasikh Salam bowls his second over. He goes for 11 runs in this over, including a boundary from Nadeem. Just two overs to go but Oman will look to finish off on a high.

Oman 97/4 after 16 overs

Aaqib Khan continues. It’s an expensive over from Aaqib as 14 runs come off it. Hammad Mirza with a four and a six in the over. The hosts will be looking for a total around 130-140 with four overs to go.

Oman 80/3 after 14 overs

Sai Kishore goes for seven runs in his latest over. Rahul Chahar continues from the other end. Nadeem, facing Chahar, looks to play the cut but misses before the ball falls to the hands of Anuj Rawat, the India A wicketkeeper. Anuj appeals for a caught behind but the umpire says no. Two runs off the over.

Oman 67/3 after 11 overs

R Sai Kishore continues. It’s a quick, tidy over from the spinner with just two runs coming off it.

Oman 65/3 after 10 overs

Oman 46/3 after 6 overs

Ramandeep Singh collects the wicket of Karan Sonavale and goes for just two runs in his first over. It’s spin from the other end as R Sai Kishore is introduced.
