SL vs OMA

That brings our coverage to an end.
Thanks for joining us for this contest as we have plenty more cricketing action lies ahead.
This is Shahan along side Pradeep signing off. Goodbye and take care.

Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka captain)
It's very hard to replace someone like Wanindu because he is a champion bowler. But of course - Dushan Hemantha - so he's been in the side for a while. In the absence of Wanindu, he played a few games here and there. So the confidence is there, but you know, straightaway coming to the game, it will be a bit harder. I'm sure that he will come good in the next game. The confidence with the batting especially. So I mean, that's one batting lead, you're not taking a hit. So it was a concern in the recent past, so I'm really happy about the way Kusal Mendis went on in the last two games. So probably that should be the role that he must do in the next game as well. And each batter chipping on at the right time is important as well.

Jitender Singh (Oman Captain) 
I think we were very positive. We couldn't take much from the first game, we were always in the game today, but Sri Lanka were a better side, putting us under pressure and 225 was a bit too much. There's hardly anything you can do with the skill level, perhaps be a bit more positive with the mindset. If you see our squad, there are hardly 4-5 guys who have played 40+ T20Is. We lack experience, the sad reality is we don't get too many matches against full members and no exposure to franchise tournaments. Our coaches and the management are trying their best, but we can't do much without a lot of T20 exposure. But we'll keep trying our best.

Pavan Rathnayake (Player of the match)
I like to play spin, but I always try to protect my style. I like both spin and pace. The game went very well. Everyone supports each other and everyone is doing well. So in the next game, we will try to do our best.

Sri Lanka bowl Oman out for 120 to secure a dominant 105-run victory.

Batting Highlights (Oman):
Mohammad Nadeem 53* (56) | Wasim Ali 27 (20)
Bowling Figures (Sri Lanka):
Maheesh Theekshana 2/11 (4) | Dushmantha Chameera 2/19 (2) | Dunith Wellalage 1/17 (4)

Chasing a massive target of 226, Oman were immediately pushed onto the back foot by disciplined Sri Lankan bowling. Early wickets dented the chase, and the required rate quickly climbed beyond reach.

Mohammad Nadeem stood firm with a patient half-century, attempting to anchor the innings, while Wasim Ali provided brief resistance with an attacking cameo. However, regular breakthroughs ensured Oman never built sustained momentum.

Maheesh Theekshana led the charge with a tight and effective spell, well supported by Dushmantha Chameera’s early strikes. With wickets falling at consistent intervals, Oman were restricted to 120/9 in their 20 overs.

A commanding all-round performance sees Sri Lanka register a comprehensive 105-run victory after posting an imposing first-innings total.

19.6 Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, THAT'S IT! SRI LANKA THRASH OMAN! What an emphatic win this from Sri Lanka, they've been brilliant in all three departments and have thumped Oman convincingly. Nails another yorker, tailed into leg-stump. Nadeem digs it out to square-leg for a dot.

19.4 Matheesha Pathirana to Mohammad Nadeem, WIDE! Loses the radar Pathirana. Back of a length, goes outside the tramline, wide has been signaled.

18.3 Dunith Wellalage to Mohammad Nadeem, FIFTY FOR NADEEM! Good length on the off-stump, Nadeem tapped it into the off-side, and brings up the FIFTY.
