T20 World Cup: Tucker 94* headlines Ireland’s thrashing of Oman

Ireland muscled the highest score of the 2026 T20 World Cup en route to a dominating win over Oman in Group B  to keep their Super Eights hopes alive, at least mathematically.

Lorcan Tucker, standing in for the injured Paul Stirling, muscled 94 not out as Ireland walloped 235 for 5. They hammered eight sixes in the last three overs alone – more than Oman had in the tournament until then – and the last five overs produced 93 runs.

In response, Oman were bowled out for 139 with two overs left unused, the innings characterised by a rush of wickets following an early turbocharge from 44-year-old Aamir Kaleem, who muscled 50 off 29 balls. (ESPNcricinfo)
