A fascinating match occurred in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier matches. Oman’s massive victory in the fourth match of the qualifiers (Ireland vs Oman) has surprised everyone because Oman is a weaker team than Ireland. However, this victory shows us the versatility of the game of cricket, making it even easier to say that it is not right to decide the win before the game ends.
In cricket, we saw a similar outstanding performance in the last IPL 2023 season, where the KKR batsman Rinku Singh hit five consecutive sixes in the final over to win the game. Three batsmen, Kashyap Prajapati, Aqib Ilyas, and Zeeshan Maqsood, played an important role in this match between Oman and Ireland.
Kashyap Prajapati
Kashyap Prajapati, born in India, is an in-form batsman representing the Oman cricket team. Kashyap had an impressive start during the second innings, scoring 72 runs off 74 balls with a strike rate of 97.29, including four boundaries and a six.
Aqib Ilyas
Another important player in the match was Aqib Ilyas Sulehri, a cricketer from Pakistan who currently plays for the Oman national cricket team. Aqib Ilyas played a crucial role in securing the victory. He contributed 52 runs off 49 balls with a strike rate of 106.12, putting the team in a favorable position.
Zeeshan Maqsood
Zeeshan Maqsood is originally from Pakistan, but now he is representing Oman in the cricket world. Maqsood, the Oman team’s captain, contributed significantly to the victory against Ireland. He displayed excellent captaincy and played a pivotal role by scoring 59 runs off 67 balls, with a strike rate of 88.05. His performance guided the team toward an echoing victory.
