Ludhiana-born Jatinder Singh smashed an unbeaten 73 as co-hosts Oman thrashed Papua New Guinea by 10 wickets in the opening Group ‘B' first round match of the T20 World Cup on Sunday. Courtesy Jatinder's 42-ball-knock and his opening partner Aqib Ilyas's 50 not out off 43 balls, Oman chased down a modest 130-run target in only 13.2 overs.

Meanwhile, Chris Greaves led a fine fightback with a 28-ball 45 as Scotland recovered from a hopeless situation to post 140-9 against Bangladesh. Scotland were reeling at 53-6 in the 12th over before Greaves added 51 runs with Mark Watt (22 off 17 balls) to prop up Scotland.
