Oman’s chase unraveled early, slumping to 12 for 2. Hammad Mirza’s 9-run knock ended quickly, leaving the team in tatters. Mohammad Nadeem (53* off 56, 3×4, 1×6) and Wasim Ali (27 off 20, 3×6) provided the only semblance of fight with a 42-run stand, but the rest of the lineup failed miserably. No other player reached 10, as Oman folded at 120 for 9.

The bowling attack was led by Dusmantha Chameera (2/19) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/11), with Dunith Wellalage (1/17), Dushan Hemantha (1/45), and Kamindu Mendis (1/10) sharing the spoils.

Batting first after Oman elected to field, Sri Lanka recovered from early jolts to rack up 225/5. Dasun Shanaka’s blistering 50 off 19 balls – featuring five sixes and two fours – etched history as Sri Lanka’s quickest T20I half-century. Pavan Rathnayake’s aggressive 60 (28 balls, 8×4, 1×6) and Kusal Mendis’ steady 61 (45 balls, 7×4) formed the backbone of the innings.

Sri Lanka’s comprehensive performance underlines their status as tournament favorites, blending explosive batting with sharp bowling to send a strong message to rivals.
