For Oman, Muhammed Imran picked up three wickets, while Nadeem Khan took two. Shakeel Ahmad and Aryan Bisht claimed one wicket each.

In reply, Oman were bowled out for 254 in 39.5 overs despite a fighting effort from Jiten Ramanandi, who remained unbeaten on 91. Hammad Mirza scored 83, while Aryan Bisht added 27.

Junaid Siddique starred with the ball, claiming 6-49 in 7.5 overs, while Shahzad and Muhammad Jawadullah supported with two and one wickets respectively.

UAE had also beaten Oman in their earlier meeting in the series, although they suffered two defeats against Nepal.
