Oman vs Sri Lanka, 11th Match, Group B at Bulawayo, CWC Qualifier, Jun 23 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

12.48 pm Well, this match is over just a minute or two before Scotland has completed their first innings against the UAE on the other side of Bulawayo. That underscores how swift Sri Lanka have raced to victory here. Wanindu Hasaranga is on his way to being Player of the Tournament if he keeps up this bowling efficiency. Six wickets on match day one, and another five today. Karunaratne ices the chase with a half-century.

Wanindu Hasaranga unsurprisingly named Player of the Match for his 5 for 13: "This is a very good wicket to bowl for legspinners. I tried to bowl at the stumps. I think that's why I got wickets. I don't know what is the reason (why I keep taking wickets) but I try to bowl at the stumps and I do my normal basic things. The fast bowlers bowled really well and bowled good areas. Lahiru Kumara bowled really well and Kasun Rajitha supported him really well. These matches are really helpful for the World Cup tournament and are very helpful for us."

Oman captain Zeeshan Maqsood: "To play against Sri Lanka is proud for us. We have learned a lot from them, the way their bowlers bowled and their batters. First 10 overs, we lost too many wickets early on. We are tested now and that is good for us. Now we know what we need to do going forward. The positive for us is we have two wins. We cannot lose hope and we have to feel pride and play well. We have to forget this game and move forward. [Ayaan Khan's innings] He played very well. Unfortunately he couldn't get a 50 but hopefully he'll get more in the next games."

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka: "It's not about the toss. It's about the body language and the intent. Lahiru Kumara and Kasun Rajitha, they started really well and showed the intent. We don't take any team lightly. We need to bring our A game whatever the opposition is. Another six games to go so we are planning to give 100% when we come to the field. [On Hasaranga] He's a champion. Whenever I throw him the ball, he delivers for me. Very good to see him keep getting five-wicket hauls and man of the match awards. I think the future is really bright and they support staff and management has done a good job to keep the environment calm."

That's it for today's live coverage of this game. Scotland and UAE are currently in the innings break so by all means flip over to the commentary feed of that match to catch all of the UAE chase as they try to haul down Scotland's 282. On behalf of Madushka Balasuriya, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

Ayaan Khan left-arm spin enters the attack.

Andrew Foruria: "As one sided as this game is, this shows that the Associates need to be given fixtures against the Full Members more regularly - they're never going to get to their level if they never get the chance play them." The other thing to remember is that Sri Lanka is truly an outlier among the Full Members. They have a historic reputation for smoking Associate teams because their bowlers in particular are so incredibly unique that Associate teams have no clue how to play them. It's only a few days since Oman beat Ireland after all chasing a total just short of 300.
