The United Arab Emirates (UAE) defeated Oman by 54 runs in a Cricket World Cup League 2 match in Nepal on Sunday, marking their second win over Oman in the tournament. Fast bowler Junaid Siddique delivered a career-best performance, taking six wickets for 49 runs to dismantle Oman's chase after UAE had scored 308-8 in 47 overs. Key contributions with the bat came from openers Aryansh Sharma (50) and Adeeb Usmani (72), along with Harpreet Singh (77) and Mohammed Shahdad (74), who all scored fifties to set a competitive total. Despite a resilient 91 not out from Jiten Ramanandi and 83 from Hammad Mirza, Oman were bowled out for 254. This victory provided a confidence boost for the UAE following a narrow six-run loss to Nepal in a rain-affected match.
