It was a sigh of relief for Bangladesh, as it managed to outplay Oman by 26 runs in its Group B Qualifier 5 of the ICC World T20 2021 at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) in Muscat on Tuesday. With this win, Bangladesh has risen to the third spot in the table and is in contention for the Super 12s, with Oman (second) and Scotland (first).

Winning the toss, Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah opted to bat, making a change, as he brought in opener Mohammad Naim for Soumya Sarkar. At the same time, Oman captain Zeeshan Maqsood moved in with the same XI.
