Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka’s decision to bowl first paid off very well. After the duo of Hasaranga (5-13) and Kumara (3-22) combined to bowl out Oman for just 98, opener Dimuth Karunaratne made 51 not out as Sri Lanka chased down the total in 15 overs. The result means the 1996 World Cup winners climbed to the top spot in Group B and put themselves on the verge of qualifying for the Super Six stage of the tournament.
