However, Pakistan A's middle-order recovery, aided by Nazir and Minhas, took the game away from Oman. In response, Oman's chase never really gained momentum. They started cautiously, with Jatinder Singh scoring 20, and Aamir Kaleem adding 11.
Despite reaching 44/1 after 8 overs, they were unable to accelerate as required. Pakistan's bowlers kept the pressure on, with Oman struggling to find boundaries. Wasim Ali (26) and Hammad Mirza (12) tried to steady the ship, but their efforts were in vain as Oman continued to lose wickets at regular intervals. By the 18th over, Oman was in deep trouble at 97/6, and their chase fizzled out, finishing on 111/7 in their 20 overs. Sufyan Mehmood added a late six, but it was too little, too late. Pakistan A's bowlers were disciplined throughout, with Mohammad Imran and company ensuring Oman never came close to the target.
