3rd match, Fatullah

Afghanistan v Oman

At Fatullah, February 20, 2016. Afghanistan won by three wickets. ‡Oman 165-4 (20 overs) (Zeeshan Maqsood 52, Adnan Ilyas 54); Afghanistan 168-7 (19.3 overs) (Noor Ali Zadran 63 Asghar Stanikzai 34; Bilal Khan 3-33, Mehran Khan 3-18). With Afghanistan needing 21 from two overs, Samiullah Shenwari hit successive fours to bat the game their way. He holed out from the first ball of the final over, but No. 9 Dawlat Zadran promptly smashed two sixes. Oman had been 104-1 in the 14th, and might have eyed a beefier total. Mehran Khan then held the Afghan reply in check by conceding no boundaries in his 4-7-18-3.
