Chasing 173, Oman came under pressure and were all out for 130 in 18.4 overs. Captain Jatinder Singh (20 off 10 balls) made a positive start but could not convert his innings into a big score.
Wickets kept falling and the middle order failed to build a partnership. Only Aryan Bisht (24 off 32 balls) and Vinayak Shukla (20 off 17 balls) showed some resistance, but it was not enough.
