Oman vs USA (@usacricket on X)

NEW DELHI: The United States efficiently defended the lowest-ever total of 122 in a non-curtailed ODI match, defeating Oman by 57 runs of their Cricket World Cup League 2 encounter.
This total stands as one of many lowest efficiently defended scores in males’s ODIs, excluding matches with a revised goal or diminished overs.
In circumstances closely favoring spin bowling, Nosthush Kenjige‘s metronomic left-arm spin led the American cost, claiming a formidable 5/11 from 7.3 overs to dismiss Oman for a paltry 65.

Milind Kumar’s off-spin (2/17) claimed the essential wicket of Oman captain Jatinder Singh (7), whereas Harmeet Singh (1/25) and Yasir Mohammed (2/10) complemented Kenjige’s efforts.
The floor on the Oman Cricket Academy, which had proven extra tempo in earlier years, notably throughout the 2021 T20 World Cup, has favored slower bowlers within the current ODI tri-series, which types a part of the Cricket World Cup 2027 qualification course of.
Notably, not a single over of tempo was bowled within the match, with Oman’s five-pronged spin assault matched by the USA’s Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Yasir Mohammad, and Kenjige.

After electing to bowl first, hoping to emulate their spin success towards Namibia two days prior, Oman’s bowlers stifled the USA’s batting lineup, with skipper Monank Patel (0) being certainly one of 5 batters to fall inside the primary 13 overs.
Aaron Jones (16) and Sanjay Krishnamurthi (16) put up a struggle, but it surely was Milind (47*) who carried the innings, hitting six boundaries to push the rating previous three figures.

The Americans have been bowled out for 122 in 35.3 overs, with Shakeel Ahmad’s 3/20 being one of the best figures for Oman.
However, their spin quartet’s efforts overshadowed the hosts’ bowling efficiency, because the USA efficiently defended their low total, dismissing Oman for 65, their lowest rating in males’s worldwide cricket.
