The Oman vs UAE ODI match in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 experienced a low-scoring thriller that earned its place in the record books.
Hosts Oman chose to field first after winning the toss. While the United Arab Emirates were bundled out for only 78 runs, Oman lost six wickets to reach the target in 24.1 overs.
Shakeel Ahmed bagged his first ODI fifer
The 36-year-old left-arm spinner Shakeel Ahmed recorded his maiden ODI fifer as his dominant bowling caused havoc batting collapse for the two-time ODI World Cup-qualified team. He completed his 10-over quota by finishing with the bowling figures of 10-3-23-5.
Also, Jay Odedra (2/5), Muzahir Raza (1/13), and Samay Shrivastav (1/28) took wickets in the innings.
Six UAE batters scored ducks
A total of six batters scored ducks in the innings, including three golden ducks. It is the joint record for most number of ducks in an ODI innings as it was the sixth time in ODI history that experienced six ducks in one innings.
While Ali Naseer scored the highest runs (21) in the innings, Junaid Siddique (13*) and Muhammad Waseem (13) managed the second-highest score.
In reply, Oman started badly by losing the first three batters for only 12 runs. Aamir Kaleem (32) and Hammad Mirza (20) scored double-digit runs in the chasing, and those were enough for the hosts to successfully chase the two-digit target in 24.1 overs after losing six wickets.
Among the UAE bowlers, Basil Hameed took three wickets (3/17), Aayan Afzal Khan got two wickets (2/21), and Dhruv Parashar picked up one wicket (1/15).
Match aggregate: 157/16
The match experienced 157 aggregated totals and 16 aggregated wickets. It was the second-lowest match aggregate in ODI history where at least 15 wickets fell.
The record in this list is 149 runs with 16 wickets during the 2013 Brisbane ODI between Australia (74 all out) and Sri Lanka (75/6).
