The first day of the Desert Cup Quadrangular T20I witnessed two matches being played at Al Amerat Ground, Oman. Here's a brief report on the action that transpired in the fixtures. 

Saudi Arabia vs Oman 

Saudi Arabia opted to bat first and had a disappointing start, as the top-order could not stitch partnerships. 

It was the composure of Haseeb Ghafoor (34* off 28) to help the team in posting a total of 86. Bilal Khan again impressed with three wickets, followed by Kaleemullah with two scalps. 

In reply, Oman had an impressive start with Kashyap Prajapati (32 off 28) and Jatinder Singh (50* off 28) looking in full flow. They chased down the score in a matter of 8.2 overs and won by nine wickets.
