Nizakat :(

C'mon Aizaz and Kinchit. See off this new ball spell, let the nerves settle, and cruise home.

The powerplay hasn't been the be-all and end-all these commentators keep saying it is. Lots of teams have struggled in the powerplay but have come back to win. Oman were 55/1 in the powerplay when the lost to Namibia. PNG were 19/6 and won. HK were 30/3 vs Jersey but went on to win. We were behind against Canada too. UAE were behind against Canada too but pulled it back.

We have to just fight for 20 overs here.

Bilal bowling beautifully. See him off. Stay in there.

time for our own PNG-style resurgence.

Just two good partnerships away from winning this game. Need to see off Bilal, he's bowling incredibly well

Not much you can do when Bilal's bowling like this tbh. Nizakat always goes from ball one, and the deliveries Aizaz and Waqas got were incredible as well.

Fayyaz's wicket of Kinchit was a bit flukey, but credit for the set up. Got the loose shot from Kinchit.

Chasing was always going to be tricky, doesn't help when you come up against such a good new ball spell. We can still win, obviously, but we need a few guys to just stick in there and build a partnership.

Soft from Simmo. He gave into the nerves a bit.

Games not over yet. We still have batting to come. Haroon just needs to stick in there with Scotty.

Once we build a partnership, pressure will be right back on Oman, and they'll give us the game

Important thing is to not give up. Keep fighting. We have nothing to lose here. Young squad, massively inexperienced, doing very well to get to this position. We can still win this too. Scotty and Haroon just need to keep batting and take their time.

The partnership will have to come at more than a run a ball. RRR is building.
