Samit Gohel's 67 Fires Canada to Victory
Canada have won by 58 runs. Canada batted first and posted 256/10 in 50 overs. Oman, chasing 257, fell short at 198/10 in 46.3 overs.
Samit Gohel was the standout in the first innings, scoring 67 off 85 balls (SR 79). 5 fours provided the impetus.
Hammad Mirza fought hard with 49 off 86 balls, but it was not enough to haul Oman over the line. The required rate climbed too steeply in the end.
With the ball, Sheel Patel delivered figures of 3/38 in 9 overs (Econ 4.2). Crucial breakthroughs at key moments that shifted the momentum.
CAN lead the series 22-0. The pressure is firmly on the chasing side now.
The Turning Point
The result was shaped by a series of small moments rather than one dramatic turning point. The winning side was simply more clinical in their execution across both innings.
