 The Bangla Tigers fought back strongly to win their first match of the tournament against hosts Oman played at Al Amerat Stadium, Muscat on Tuesday.

Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah won the toss and decided to bat first. It was not an ideal start for the visitors as they lost wickets of Liton Das and Mahedi Hasan cheaply. Das was given not out and on review, it was overturned to out. Kallemullah took a brilliant return catch to dismiss Mahedi Hasan to leave Bangladesh struggling. Oman bowlers kept it tight not allowing Bangladesh to score runs easily. At the end of the first six overs, Bangladesh scored just 29 for 2.

After the field restrictions, Mohammad Naim and experienced Shakib AL Hasan kept the pressure on Oman bowlers. Oman fielding was not great as they dropped few chances. Shakib showed intent right from word go making life tough for the hosts. Naim kept his calm reaching fifty off 43 balls. A brilliant direct hit by Aqib ended superb innings by Shakib. Shakib and Naim added 80 runs for the 3rd wicket.

Oman bowlers made a terrific comeback into the match as they took wickets at regular intervals in the last five overs. Fayyaz Butt dismissed Rahim and Saifuddin off successive deliveries. Bilal Khan got wickets from Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah and Rahman to bowl out the visitors for 153.

Chasing 154 runs to win, Aqib was not able to provide a decent start being dismissed by Rahman. Kashyap Prajapati provided momentum for Oman hitting boundaries along with Jatinder Singh. Rahman struck for Bangladesh dismissing dangerous Prajapati. Prajapati and Jatinder added 34 runs for the 2nd wicket.

Jatinder Singh looked in brilliant touch and kept the pressure on Bangladeshi bowlers. On the other hand, Oman captain Zeeshan Masqood was not able to hit runs due to disciplined Bangladesh bowling. A lovely catch by Rahman resulted in the wicket of Masqood. Masqood and Jatinder Singh added 34 runs for the 3rd wicket.

Bangladeshi spinners Shakib AL Hasan did the damage along with Saifuddin, Rahman to strangle Oman innings and restrict them to 127 for 9 in 20 overs. With this win, Bangladesh impressed with their performances after a shocking defeat to Scotland in their opening match.

Bangladesh 153 in 20 overs (Mohammad Naim 64, Shakib AL Hasan 42, Fayyaz Butt 3/30, Bilal Khan 3/18) beat Oman 127 for 9 in 20 overs ( Jatinder Singh 40, Rahman 4/36, Shakib AL Hasan 3/28) by 26 runs.
