Source: Twitter

Sri Lanka's debut match against Oman in international cricket turned out to be an easy victory. Opting to bowl first, Sri Lanka dominated the game from the powerplay onwards. Fast bowler Kumara played a crucial role by dismissing three key batsmen, while Rajitha showcased consistent performance.

Coach Chris Silverwood, observing from the sidelines, constantly signaled to bring on the leg-spinner when Shanaka was bowling. Although the captain delayed the move for a couple of overs, Hasaranga had the anticipated massive impact. He took three wickets in his first two overs, leaving Oman completely demoralized. Ayaan Khan managed to provide some resistance, but Oman fell short, scoring close to 100 runs.

The pitch had already become easier for batting during Oman's innings, allowing Karunaratne and Nissanka to comfortably chase the target and secure a resounding 10-wicket victory. Sri Lanka had previously recorded a comprehensive win over UAE, and this triumph will further improve their net run rate (NRR).

SL vs Oman CWC Qualifier LIVE: Sri Lanka Captain Dasun Shanaka After Thumping Win

It's not about the toss, it's about the body language and intent. Lahiru Kumara and the bowlers had great intent. We don't take any team lightly. Whenever I throw the ball to him he (Hasaranga) gets wickets, very good that he is taking five-wicket hauls. It's a habit for them (openers giving good starts). This allows our hitters down the order to go hard later. Supporting staff and the management have done a great job in keeping the environment calm.

SL vs Oman CWC Qualifier LIVE: Oman Captain Zeeshan Maqsood After Big Defeat

Good to play against Sri Lanka, we learnt a lot with the way they bowled and batted. First 10 overs we lost too many wickets. Ayaan with the bat was a positive to take from this game. We have been tested now and that is good for us. We are still on our toes, we have two wins and we are looking forward. We cannot lose hope, keep fighting and play well. Unfortunately Ayaan couldn't get the fifty, hopefully he will get it in the next game.

SL vs Oman CWC Qualifier LIVE: Wanindu Hasaranga After Wuinning Man Of The Match Award

This is a very good wicket to bowl for legspinners. I tried to bowl at the stumps, that's why I got wickets. I don't know the reason for that and I do my normal basic things. The fast bowlers bowled really well, they bowled in good areas, Kumara bowled well and Rajitha supported him. These matches are very helpful for the World Cup tournament for us.

SL vs Oman CWC Qualifier LIVE: Sri Lanka Win By 10 Wickets

Sri Lanka's encounter with Oman turned out to be a one-sided affair. Opting to bowl first, Sri Lanka dominated from the beginning, with Kumara taking three crucial wickets and Rajitha providing consistent support. Coach Chris Silverwood's strategic gestures urged the captain to introduce the leg-spinner, Hasaranga, into the attack. Although there was a slight delay, Hasaranga's impact was immense, claiming three wickets in his first two overs and leaving Oman in a hopeless state. Ayaan Khan fought valiantly to push the score close to 100. In Sri Lanka's innings, the pitch had become easier to bat on, allowing Karunaratne and Nissanka to cruise to a comfortable ten-wicket victory. Following their significant win over UAE, this victory will further boost Sri Lanka's net run rate.
