The men’s Japan U19 team slipped to an eight wicket<\/a> defeat at the hands of Oman in the ACC Premier Cup being contested in UAE.<\/p>\n

Oman were on top from the start, winning the toss and choosing to bowl on a very different wicket to the batting friendly environment where Japan had played two days previously.<\/p>\n

Kaisei Kobayashi-Doggett was the only Japanese batter able to find some fluency, striking 33 from 46 deliveries including four boundaries.<\/p>\n

Some defiance from the lower order, particularly a last wicket partnership of 19* between Alex Watanabe-Dawson (17*) and Kai Wall (12*) helped lift the score to 172 for nine from the full 50 overs, and had Japan thinking it could be enough at the interval.<\/p>\n

The Oman batters had other ideas, and came out determined to attack early. Rishab Gupta struck five boundaries in a 17-ball 26 before he was snagged by Charlie Hara-Hinze, but 78* from 89 balls by captain Jeet Shah was enough to lead his team to victory and make them strong favourites to make the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Japan will play their final group match against Qatar on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
