World Cup League 2
Oman beat Netherlands by 8 wickets
Al Amerat, Oman, 5 November.
Netherlands 132 (40.2 overs: B de Leede 51, N Croes 29; S Ahmad 4-26, A Kaleem 2-27)
Oman 133/2 (34.1 overs: J Singh 58, J Odedara 27, W Ali 24*)
Bas De Leede scored a half century in a losing cause. (CricketEurope)
A real struggle for the Netherlands asked to bat first. They battled to 86/4 after 25 overs but after Bas de Leede’s departure the long tail produced little as the two left arm spinners Shakeel Ahmad and Aamir Kaleem claimed six wickets between them. Omani openers captain Jatinder Singh and Ashish Odedara coped with the three Dutch spinners with relative ease, took no chances and added 81 for the first wicket. Fifty and out for Singh but with less than twenty runs required the game was won by that stage.
World Cup League 2
Nepal v Scotland - no result
Dallas, 4 November.
Nepal 26/1 (6 overs)
Scotland (Rain interrupted - reduced to 43 overs/side)
A gloomy scene in Dallas as rain held up play (CricketScotland)
A delayed start after Scotland elected to field and a further delay after just one over. Just about 2 hours lost before play resumes and we now have a 43 over game. But after another five overs covers on again it's 'bad light', 'lightning warning', 'rain' - take your pick, and the game is finally abandoned.
