ज़िम्बाब्वे vs ओमान, मैच 8, सिंहलीज स्पोर्ट्स क्लब, कोलम्बो, 09 February 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Left alone by Bennett. Pitched up on a fuller length and outside off, looking for some inswing, but this one goes straight on. Brian Bennett lets it through to the keeper.

Zimbabwe are underway with a leg bye. Back of a length and around leg, Bennett fails to tuck it away. The ball goes off the thigh pad and behind square leg for a single.

Good-length delivery, shaping away from outside off, Tadiwanashe Marumani backs away and looks to cut but misses.

FOUR! Marumani is off the mark in streaky fashion. Short of a length, angled into the batter, extra bounce still on offer. Marumani goes hard at the pull but miscues it away over first slip and the ball runs away to the fence.

Play and a miss! Back of a length, shaping away from outside off. Marumani makes room leg side and looks to go over point but misses.

On a good length and around the top of off, Marumani presses back and tucks it through square leg. The initial call was for two, but they settle with the single. Zimbabwe are 6/0 after the first over.

Starts from around the wicket and fires it across the left-hander. Marumani rocks back to pull but the ball darts away past the willow.

Half an appeal for a caught behind but the keeper knows there's no bat on it. Good length, angled across off, Marumani ends up poking at it and gets beaten well past the outside edge. The bowler and the fielder at first slip really thought there was an edge, but the keeper has a chuckle.

FOUR! Beautifully timed. Flatter one at the stumps, it's nudged away wide of mid-wicket by Marumani and the ball speeds away to the fence.

FOUR MORE! Slightly fuller, darted across off, Tadiwanashe Marumani does well to go deep in his crease and smacks it firmly between point and covers for another boundary.

FOUR! Make that a hat-trick of boundaries and Marumani is starting to go berserk. Marginally short on middle and leg, Marumani leans back and pulls it flat and hard through mid-wicket for another boundary.

FOUR! Tadiwanashe Marumani is breathing fire, 16 runs off the over. Full and on leg stump, Marumani sits down and nearly falls over as he wallops the ball up and over backward square leg. The ball just lands inside the ropes and goes for another four.

Play and a miss! Short of a length and shaping away from outside off, Brian Bennett looks to take on the pull but is beaten by the extra bounce.

Good length on the pads, Bennett presses back and tucks it to mid-wicket.

Good length again, around the top of off, Bennett lets the ball come on before easing it out to covers. Three dots to begin the third over.

FOUR! Brian Bennett is finally off the mark and in fine fashion as well. Short of a length, angled across off and middle. Bennett picks the length early, leans back and swivel-pulls it wide of square leg for a boundary.

FOUR! Oh, that's unlucky for the bowler. Full and outside off, looking for the inswinger. Bennett goes for the expansive cover drive but ends up dragging it off the inside edge. The ball goes past the leg stump and rolls away into the fine leg fence.

Length ball on leg, no room on offer. Bennett stays back and defends it to mid on.

OUT! CAUGHT! Top catch from Wasim Ali and Oman have their first breakthrough. Sufyan Mehmood comes around the wicket and has the keeper upto the stumps. This is bowled a bit short and wide, and Tadiwanashe Marumani throws the hands at it. Marumani doesn't control the shot and hits it uppishly to the right of backward point. Wasim leaps up and across to his right and clings onto the ball. Marumani departs for a breezy 21 off 11 balls.

Good length attacking the pads Myers nudges it across to mid-wicket.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is a fantastic catch from the keeper, and he was certain it was out. Sufyan Mehmood pitches the ball further up on off and creates an angle from wide of the crease. The ball angles in, and Dion Myers lunges ahead to play it through the covers. The ball goes past the inside edge and just past the leg stump as Vinayak Shukla pouches it brilliantly and even dislodges the bails to bring the double opportunity into play. The appeal for a catch is turned down, but the review is taken. Third umpire confirms that there is an inside edge, and Myers is in and out quickly. Zimbabwe are 29/2 after 3.3 overs.

Fullish length on the pads, Taylor clips it away to square leg.

Good length outside off, Brendan Taylor taps it towards cover.

Nearly a double-wicket maiden from Sufyan Mehmood. Back of a length and around off, Brendan Taylor plays it off the inner half of the blade and past the bowler down to long on for a single.

FOUR! In the gap! Short of a good length and outside off, Brendan Taylor waits back well and taps it down just behind point. The ball races away to the fence.

A good comeback delivery from Nadeem Khan. Nagging length on off, the armball darts back in. Taylor just about manages to block it off.

Oh, that could have easily gone straight to hand. Floated up on middle, Brendan Taylor goes for the reverse sweep but miscues it badly and the ball lands just wide of the fielder at first slip.

Excellent work from Vinayak Shukla again behind the stumps. Flighted ball, angled in with the arm. Taylor looks to play the conventional sweep now but the ball catches the arm and lobs up towards the leg slip region. The keeper dives and pouches the ball and up goes the appeal for a caught behind. It is turned down and the keeper is quick to walk back to his mark.

Flatter one on the pads, tucked around the corner on the leg side for a single.

Top over from Nadeem Khan. Shorter one, hammered into the deck and outside off. Brian Bennett shuffles across to pull but gets into a tangle and misses. A couple of really good overs for Oman.

On a length and on middle, Brendan Taylor turns it to square leg and looks for a single but is sent back by Brian Bennett. A direct-hit at the batter's end but Taylor was in.

Yet another direct-hit but Taylor was in once again. Touch fuller, around off, Taylor punches it to mid off and calls for a quick single. The fielder has a shot at the bowler's end and scores but the replay shows Taylor was in.

Back of a length, outside off, hangs a bit low, Brian Bennett looks to cut it but misses.

1 run.
