Pakistan begins Asia Cup with 93-run win over Oman
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) --- Pakistan thumped Oman by 93 runs to begin
its Asia Cup campaign thanks to Mohammad Haris' 66 off 43 balls at Dubai
International Stadium on Friday.
Pakistan scored 160-7 after opting to bat and Oman was bundled out for 67 in
16.4 overs.
Haris struck seven fours and three sixes on his way to 50 off 32 balls.
Pakistan takes on India in the Twenty20 tournament's most high profile clash on
Sunday at the same venue.
Haris crossed the 20-run mark in T20s for the first time in 12 innings. His
best in 11 innings prior was 15 against Afghanistan in the preceding
tri-series. He was 107 not out in June against Bangladesh at Lahore.
Opener Shahibzada Farhan (29) and Haris put on 85 off 64 balls to drive the
innings.
Saim Ayub was out for a golden duck, as was skipper Salman Agha, both falling
to left-arm spinner Aamir Kaleem.
Kaleem also bowled Haris in the 13th over and finished with 3-31 in four overs
--- his career best against a full ICC member.
Fakhar Zaman hit 23 not out off 16 balls and Mohammad Nawaz scored 19 off 10
balls to help Pakistan pass 150. It lost its last five wickets for 56 runs in
seven overs.
In a chase that never got going, Hammad Mirza top-scored for Oman with 27 off
23 balls.
Oman collapsed from 41-2 to 51-9, losing seven wickets for 10 runs across 34
deliveries. The innings ended in the 17th over, with the last pair adding 16
runs.
Spinners Saim Ayub and Suyiyan Muqeem, and medium pacer Faheem Ashraf shared
six wickets across seven overs in the rout.
