England locked horns against Oman in their third group stage game with a cloud over their campaign. There were a lot of net run-rate calculations with Scotland for them. But they shunned all the talks of getting knocked out with a solid win ending the game only in 99 balls. They first skittled Oman for just 47 runs and then chased the score down in 3.1 overs.
The net run-rate of the defending champions is now much better than Scotland and England will now have to win against Namibia before hoping that Australia beats Scotland. Meanwhile, let us have a look at the records England broke during their big win over Oman:
1 – This is the first time that a T20 World Cup has witnessed three bowlers picking up three or more wickets in an innings. Jofra Archer, Mark Wood picked up three wickets each while Adil Rashid scalped four wickets in the game.
4 – Only three England bowlers shared all 10 wickets in an innings which is the fourth such instance in men’s T20I cricket.
