Reckons that the wicket is sticking a bit but they need to stay nice and positive with the bat.

07:38 IST:

The bowling from Namibiawas outstanding. Left-arm pacer Ruben Trumpelmannwas unplayable for the Oman batter and he struck twice in the first over of the game and put the opponents on the backfoot immediately. He was supported well by other bowlers too. Bernard Scholtzand Gerhard Erasmuswere good with spin as well. Ruben Trumpelmannwas the pick of the bowlers by some distance as he picked up 4 wickets. David Wiesetook 3while Gerhard Erasmustook a couple as well.Bernard Scholtztook one too. The target is a below-par one even on this slow track but can Omanstrike early and make a game out of it? we shall find out soon with the chase to follow.

The side lost it's top order cheaply and were in all sorts of trouble with the scorecard reflecting 37 for 4 after 6.3 overs.
