Oman faces uphill task to chase 173

Shah Faisal is brought back into the attack. He bowls a yorker right into the blockhole, and Kaushik misses the first two deliveries. On the third ball, he unleashes a huge six, followed by back-to-back sixes, showing his power hitting. An acrobatic save from Kaleem inside the ring limits the damage, but Kaushik finishes the over with a boundary. 18 runs come off it, taking UAE to 164/3 after 19 overs.

Hassnain Shah bowls the final over of the powerplay. Waseem swings and misses initially, but then smashes a huge six. On the next ball, he takes 1 run and is run out trying for a second, thanks to an excellent throw from Aryan Bisht/Vinayak Shukla from deep backward square.

Rahul Chopra walks in next, but he is caught by Aamir Kaleem for a duck.

Dhruv Parashar is the new batter and gets off the mark with a single. Kaushik edges a delivery, prompting a huge appeal, but the umpire is unmoved. Oman reviews, confident of a caught-behind, but UltraEdge shows nothing, and the appeal is unsuccessful. A dot ball ends the over.

7 runs and 2 wickets come off the final over of the powerplay, leaving UAE at 172/5 after 20 overs, in a tricky position.
