ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers Highlights: Zimbabwe resist Oman's fightback to register 14-run win in Super Six game

It was a brilliant fight from Oman but in the end, the hosts prevail. Zimbabwe beat Oman by 14 runs to pick another two important points, and strengthen their claim for a spot at the ICC World Cup in India later this year!

Zeeshan Maqsood braved hamstring injury to return to bat after being retired hurt earlier in the innings, but the injury just isn't letting him play freely. Great penultimate over from Richard Ngarava as he concedes just 3.

Oman 304/8 in 49 overs. Target 333

Fayyaz Butt departs for 10 but danger-man Mohammad Nadeem is still on the crease.

294/8 in 47.1 overs, need 39 runs off 17 balls

14 runs off the 47th over, and Oman now require 39 off the last three, with 3 wickets in hand.

Can they pull out an upset here?

This is a stunning catch from Luke Jongwe. A full toss from Ngarawa and Kaleemullah swings it towards longon. Jongwe juggles twice, while also going in and out of the boundary line, but eventually manages to take the catch in the third attempt!

Oman 271/7 in 45.4 overs

And that should be the game for Zimbabwe. The dangerous Ayaan Khan hands the catch to Wellington Masakadza at deep square leg. He departs for 47 off 43 balls. An impressive effort, but not enough.

Oman 268/6 in 45 overs, need 65 runs in 30 balls

Naseem Khushi departs! 

A full toss on off and Naseem chips it straight to Madhevere at cover.

Oman 248/5 in 43 overs, need 85 runs in 42 balls

Ayaan continues to hold one end while Naseem Khushi, the new batter, has also made an aggressive start.

Oman 237/4, require 96 more runs to win in 48 balls

Talk about commentator's curse. Shoaib Khan departs as he aims to pull Richard Ngarava's short-pitched delivery; he fails to find the middle of the bat and the ball could barely cross the distance, as Ngarava takes an impressive catch off his own delivery.

Oman 217/4 in 38.5 overs. Need 116 runs in 67 balls

They did lose centurion Kashyap Prajapati but Ayaan Khan is slowly getting into the groove here. He ends Sikandar Raza's 38th over with a four, as Oman reach 210/3 in 38 overs. They require 123 more runs to win in 72 balls
