We’re 2 days in and already have had some sensational individual and team performances.

G1 Oman v Papua New Guinea - 11am Sun 17th - First Round Group B, Al Amerat
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 129/9 (20 overs)
Assad Vala 56 (43) Charles Amini 37 (26) (MOM) Zeeshan Maqsood 4/20(4) Bilal Khan 2/16(4)
OMAN 131/0 (13.4/20 ov, target 130)
Jatinder Singh 73* (42) Aqib Ilyas 50* (43)
Oman won by 10 wickets (with 38 balls remaining)
The hosts got off to an emphatic start clinching a 10-wkt win, set up in large part by their experienced skipper Zeeshan Maqsood who ripped through the PNG middle order. PNG got off to a shocker of start sitting 0-2 in the 1st 9 balls but captain Assad Vala (56) and Charles Amini (37) got them up to 81. It all went downhill from here, staggering to 112-5 and then 129 a/o. Jatinder Singh (73*) and Aquib Ilyas (50*) then made light work of the PNG attack, comfortably getting home inside 14 overs to get them off to a flying start. No shortage of MOM nominees for Oman with the unbeaten openers and 2 wkts for quick Bilal Khan but it was the winning skipper, Zeeshan Maqsood that was rightly awarded the honor. Bangladesh, who will neup next for the hosts.

G2 Bangladesh v Scotland - 3pm Sun 17th - First Round Group B (N), Al Amerat
SCOTLAND 140/9 (20 overs)
Chris Greaves 45 (28) George Munsey 29 (23) Mahedi Hasan (26 y/o little offie) 3/19(4) Shakib Al Hasan 2/17(4)
BANGLADESH 134/7 (20 overs, Target 141)
Mushfiqur Rahim 38 (36) Mahmudullah 23 (22) Brad Wheal 3/24(4) Chris Greaves 2/19(3)
Scotland won by 6 runs
Another incredible team and individual performance in game 2, this time by Scotland who made life as difficult as possible for themselves before coming back to beat the favored Bangladeshis. Star for Scotland was Chris Greaves playing in only his 2nd game – and who was until recently working delivering parcels for Amazon – whose top score knock of 45 batting at 7 helped Scotland to 140/9 after they had slipped to 53/6, before snaffling 2/19 in the Bangladesh reply including the wicket of star batsman Shakib al-Hasan. As for Shakib, his 2 wickets established him as the leading wicket taker in T20i history – with 108 victims – one more than SL legend Lasith Malinga. Tim Southee (99) and Rashid Khan (95) will both be looking to catch him up! No time to wallow for the Lions as it’s a tough one against the hosts Oman next.

G3 Ireland v Netherlands - 11am - First Round Group A, Abu Dhabi
NETHERLANDS 106/10 (20 overs)
Max O'Dowd 51 (47) Pieter Seelaar 21 (29) Curtis Campher 4/26(4) Mark Adair 3/9(4)
IRELAND 107/3 (15.1 overs)
Gareth Delany 44 (29) Paul Stirling* 30 (39) Fred Klaassen 1/18(3) Pieter Seelaar 1/14(2.1)
Ireland won by 7 wickets (with 29 balls remaining)
Another game, another young player stepping up… this time it was 22 y/o Joburg born Curtis Campher who put in a MOM performance to give Ireland a huge 1st win against this experienced Dutch side. Whilst Mark Adair took an impressive 3/9 in his 4 overs, it was Campher who will grab the headlines after taking 4 wkts in 4 balls in the 10th over – seeing off Colin Ackermann, Ryan ten Doeschate, Scott Edwards and Roelof van der Merwe. After which, the Netherlands were 51 for 6 before setting Ireland the modest target of 107 thanks to a plucky 21 from skipper Pieter Seelaar. Paul Sterling’s 30* and a fluid 44 off 29 balls from Gareth Delaney got Ireland close before he was dismissed, allowing MOM Campher to be in at the end with an unbeaten 7 to go with 4 mightily impressive wickets. Netherlands are up against it now.

G4 Namibia v Sri Lanka - 3pm - First Round Group A (N), Abu Dhabi
NAMIBIA 96/10 (19.3 overs)

SRI LANKA 100/3 (13.3/20 ov, target 97)
