Mohammad Haris delivered a match-winning performance as Pakistan defeated Oman by 93 runs at Dubai International Stadium on Friday. The wicketkeeper-batsman struck 66 runs from 43 deliveries, featuring seven boundaries and three sixes. Pakistan posted 160-7 after choosing to bat first, while Oman collapsed to 67 all out in 16.4 overs. Haris reached his half-century from 32 balls, marking his first score above 20 runs in twelve T20 innings. Shahibzada Farhan contributed 29 runs as the pair constructed an 85-run partnership.
Oman's chase faltered immediately as they lost seven wickets for just ten runs across 34 deliveries. Left-arm spinner Aamir Kaleem claimed career-best figures of 3-31, dismissing both Saim Ayub and captain Salman Agha for golden ducks. Hammad Mirza top-scored for Oman with 27 runs from 23 balls before the innings collapsed. Pakistan spinners Saim Ayub and Suyiyan Muqeem combined with medium-pacer Faheem Ashraf to claim six wickets. The victory sets up Pakistan's highly anticipated encounter against India on Sunday at the same venue.
