Kamindu Mendis returns, Nadeem cuts to deep for a single. Odedra slaps one to midwicket for another. Nadeem nudges to midwicket for none, then picks up a single towards point. A deflection off Odedra's pads rolls past the keeper, but Nissanka is quick to stop it. Just 3 runs from the over, Oman 112-9 after 18 overs.
Dunith Wellalage is back. Nadeem pushes to backward point for none, then defends the next delivery. Making room, he drives through cover to reach his third T20I half-century -- a bright moment for Oman. On the last ball, Odedra charges down and slaps it to long-on; Nadeem finishes with a single. 3 runs from the over, Oman 115-9. Oman now need 111 from 6 balls -- a near-impossible chase.
