Oman rout Uganda by 10 wickets

MUSCAT: Oman ensured they would finish with a 100 per cent record in the ICC World Cricket League Division 3 by recording a big win over Uganda, while Denmark ended its campaign on a high on the penultimate day of action.

Hosts Oman had already secured promotion back to Division 2 at the first time of asking but a simple 10-wicket victory over Uganda sealed top spot.

Denmark secured a first win at the fifth time of asking thanks to a brilliant partnership between Hamid Shah (105 not out) and Freddie Klokker (80 not out), which inspired its nine-wicket triumph over Kenya.

Singapore and USA will do battle for the second promotion place when they face off in the final game on Monday – with the USA in the driving seat as it currently has two more points and a much-superior net runrate than its opponents.

OMAN DOMINATE Uganda won the toss and chose to bat at Oman Club Turf 2. Bilal Khan (4-12) and Fayyaz Butt (5-22) tore through the Ugandan batting order, with only Dinesh Nakrani (12) and Deusdedit Muhumuza (18 not out) reaching double figures.

After being reduced to nine for four, Uganda recovered slightly to reach 51 for five before Butt took four of the final five wickets as it could only post 59 all out from 28.3 overs.

Openers Jatinder Singh (36 not out) and Twinkal Bhandari (22 not out) calmly steered the hosts to a tenwicket victory from just 17.2 overs to complete their perfect campaign.
