Oman defeated Hong Kong for only 12 races on Wednesday in a T20 do-or-die World Cup qualifier to reach the final in Australia along with Scotland, which defeated the United Arab Emirates for 90 races.

Oman and Scotland join Namibia, the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea and Ireland, which had already reserved their places in the 2020 masterpiece, but still compete for the winner’s trophy in the United Arab Emirates.

Scott McKechnie, who scored with 44 of 46 balls, helped stabilize the ship with an association of 52 for the sixth wicket with Haroon Arshad (20), but Hong Kong struggled to get the ball in the harsh and heavy conditions and finished in 122 -9.

“We had early mornings, we sweat a lot and this is our reward,” said Jatinder.

“Bilal was lethal today, you couldn’t play, he hit the New Yorkers, he hit the mark. It was wonderful.”
