With Australia's Josh Hazlewood causing a stir in the lead-up to the match, England thrashes Oman with 101 deliveries remaining to keeps its hopes alive at the men's T20 World Cup.
England defeated Oman by eight wickets after completing the quickest run chase in tournament history. England must beat Namibia and rely on Australia defeating Scotland to advance from the group phase.
The win with 101 balls remaining, and after an hour and 42 minutes, was the fastest in men's T20 World Cup history. England's triumph over Oman came in the wake of comments made by Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood following his side's defeat of Namibia on Wednesday AEST. "I am very much hoping it was an off-hand remark by a really good bloke who is having fun," Mott told BBC Sport."I am hoping it was very much tongue in cheek."
