8.00pm: Good fightback by Oman but 153 will still take some getting against Bangladesh's bowlers you'd think. How big an impact will dew have though? It could neutralise the threat of Bangladesh's spinners a fair bit. Oman will need a strong start to mount a successful chase. Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt were both outstanding for Oman, and both have ended up with three wickets each. Very little for Bangladesh outside of the third-wicket stand between Naim and Shakib. They added 80 - more than half the total. Bangladesh need to defend this, otherwise their T20 World Cup is done. We'll be back with the chase shortly, with Sid Monga back at the controls.

Fayyaz Butt: Very big thing for me and my team also. We can't believe we are playing here in our ground. It's a big thing for people in Oman. (caught and bowled) I bowled three good length deliveries, and I put more pace on the third one, that's what beat him. (On his idols) Pace bowlers, Imran Khan is a legend. And Brett Lee is also a legend. 150-plus so I like him a lot. I played Under-19 World Cup for Pakistan, and that time I had a different action. I developed this action to get more pace.

Bilal Khan to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT, Bilal gets a wicket with the final ball. Captain Maqsood catches it at long-off. Fizz backed away and swiped hard at this, got way more height than distance on it, and Oman end an innings marked by dropped chances with one safely taken.

Bilal Khan to Mustafizur Rahman, 2 runs, backing away, he bowls it in the blockhole, inside edge goes to fine leg as he's looking to drive

Bilal Khan to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, quicker bouncer on the stumps, he's looking to arch out of the way while ramping it over the keeper, can't connect with the ball
19.3

Bilal Khan to Mahmudullah, OUT, knocked him over. Went around the wicket to Mahmudullah and nailed a yorker on off stump, tailing into him too. Mahmudullah flays at it with feet static and the ball sneaks through to crash into the stumps

Mahmudullah b Bilal Khan 17 (25m 10b 1x4 1x6) SR: 170.00

Bilal Khan to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, yorker outside off, he's deep in his crease and gets low to drive this to extra cover. Zeeshan dives to his right to stop it

Bilal Khan to Taskin Ahmed, 4 leg byes, keeps it full and straight but Taskin is moving across and it flicks the outside off his pad and goes very fine, past the keeper, for four leg-byes

Bilal for the last over. Taskin on strike

Shahid Majeed: "Surprised with BD team strategy, Mushfiqur and Mohammadullah batting at 7 and 8, isn't it strange."

Fayyaz Butt to Mahmudullah, FOUR, stays very still and cuts this beautifully through backward point for a boundary. Back of a length outside off
18.5
1b
Fayyaz Butt to Taskin Ahmed, 1 bye, well bowled, but they concede a single through a bye. Slower bouncer outside off again, Tasking has a heave at it and can't connect, but the keeper can't collect cleanly and it goes to short third man

Fayyaz Butt to Mahmudullah, 1 run, back of a length slower ball outside off, chopped towards point
18.3
2
Fayyaz Butt to Mahmudullah, 2 runs, not the best delivery to bowl for an attempted hat-trick, sliding on the pads and Mahmudullah clips it fine. Good sliding effort by the man running to his right to fine leg to pull it in just before it hits the boundary cushions.

Taskin the new man, but the batsmen crossed, so Mahmudullah to face the hat-trick ball.

Fayyaz Butt to Mohammad Saifuddin, OUT, caught at long-off. Length ball outside off, Saifuddin gave him the charge first ball, slaps it in the air, without timing, and it's travelled straight down Jatinder's throat. Another catch for him.

Mohammad Saifuddin c Jatinder Singh b Fayyaz Butt 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Fayyaz Butt to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, he's dabbed that straight to the keeper. Got a little bigger on him than he expected, and was a slower ball too. Superbly done by Fayyaz, what a key strike that is. Back of a length slower ball that kept rising, and Mushfiqur was looking to steer it very fine, ends up steering it right into the keeper's gloves.

Mushfiqur Rahim c †Naseem Khushi b Fayyaz Butt 6 (12m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 150.00

Fayyaz Butt to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 wide, went for the wide line outside off, and the umpire thinks Mushfiqur hasn't moved enough, so that's a wide. Was outside the tramline and Mushfiqur did move, but from outisde leg stump to in front of the stumps

Two overs left - Fayyaz and Bilal to bowl them I'd think. Fayyaz it is for this one.

Mohammad Nadeem to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, fuller on off, driven to extra cover, they take the quick single. Shy at the stumps is wide, could have been close with a direct hit. Would have been out in fact. Jatinder had only one stump to aim at.
17.5
1
Mohammad Nadeem to Mahmudullah, 1 run, back of a length slower ball on off, mis-times his pull to deep midwicket

Ball has to be sanitised before we can resume.

Mohammad Nadeem to Mahmudullah, SIX, boom. Too short and he's swivelled to pull this way over square leg. Magnificent contact with the ball.
17.3
1
Mohammad Nadeem to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, rocks back to pull this through midwicket, but there's protection in the deep there so it's just a single
17.2
1
Mohammad Nadeem to Mahmudullah, 1 run, fuller on the stumps, flicked through backward square leg

Our stats whiz Sampath tells me: Only the second time since 2010 in T20Is, Mushfiqur Rahim is batting at No.8 or lower. Other instance was vs India in 2016 WT20.

Mohammad Nadeem to Mahmudullah, no run, down the track, looks to smash through off, swing and a miss to a length ball in the channel

Kaleemullah to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, gorgeous. Given a bit of width outside off with a ball that's slightly back of length and he cuts it beautifully through backward point

A rush of wickets now but because Bangladesh tinkered with their batting order, they've got Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah to steer them at the death.

Kaleemullah to Mahmudullah, 1 run, length ball, very straight, tucked off his pads to deep midwicket

Kaleemullah to Mohammad Naim, OUT, caught at deep midwicket. Oman now catching everything. Bouncer dug into the surface, came slower onto him than he expected, and he ends up playing the pull too early, only for the ball to balloon to the fielder for a comfortable take.

Mohammad Naim c Ayaan Khan b Kaleemullah 64 (97m 50b 3x4 4x6) SR: 128.00

Kaleemullah to Mohammad Naim, 1 run, swatted across the line, no timing on that, goes over the bowler and bounces well in front of long-off
