Windhoek’s relentless rain cut a 50‑over encounter to 20 overs, leaving Scotland to chase 163‑7. Oman’s opening partnership of 100‑0, powered by Jatinder Singh’s 51 and Ashish Odedara’s 43, set the tone before a collapse that saw the host finish on 163‑7.

Scotland’s batting faltered early; George Munsey and Finlay McCreath departed for ducks, while captain Richie Berrington managed just one run. Matthew Cross top‑scored with 24, but a three‑run wicket in both the 18th and 19th overs cut Scotland’s chances.

Sayfaan Sharif’s two wickets in the 15th over turned the tide, and Michael Leask and Jack Jarvis added two more each, ensuring Oman’s victory by 12 runs. The win keeps Oman in third place, three points behind Scotland in the World Cup League Two table.

With the tri‑series concluding Sunday, Scotland remains second but has played three more matches than leaders the USA, who sit four points ahead. Oman will seek a second win over Namibia on Friday, tightening the race for qualification spots.
