Ireland were in early trouble after Oman’s 38-year-old left-arm spinner Shakeel Ahmed justified his selection with three key wickets. Shakeel finished with figures of 3 for 33, dismissing Tim Tector, Harry Tector and Ross Adair, as Ireland slipped to 64 for 4 in the eighth over.

Tucker then steadied the innings before shifting gears, combining caution with controlled aggression. He shared a decisive 101-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Gareth Delany, who scored 56, to lift Ireland to a commanding position. In the final over, George Dockrell took charge, smashing an unbeaten 35 off just nine balls at a strike rate of 388.88. His innings included five sixes and pushed Ireland past the 230-run mark.
