So that was the first upset of the tournament: Oman eased their way to 282, and sent a warning for their upcoming opponents. Ireland will try and figure things out before it's too late - the fact that they played too many dot balls surely played a role today - as the Qualifier keeps rolling. That's it from us this game, as I sign off on behalf of Ashish and Ranjith! Take care.

Zeeshan Maqsood is here again: "It's an honour [to beat Ireland in the first ODI between them]. Definitely [a special day in Oman cricket]. If we continue like this, some more results will be in our favour. It was a collective and combined performance, which we need to beat a good side. We came here to go there (to India) and play."

Andy Balbirnie on the loss: "Very disappointing... we felt like we had a pretty good score. Like I said, 280 in a one-day game is pretty good. They were hard to bowl to at times. We felt right in the game. Oman's win didn't take us by surprise... it's a long tournament. We need to get back into it pretty quickly. Ben did a pretty good job. He will get better."

Time for the presentations

Zeeshan Maqsood is the Player of the Match: "Credit goes to team-mates, organisers, coach and families. It was painful to get out. Whatever comes, I take it. It was [a big score], but the wicket played very well in the second half. I am in good form, and just want to carry that."

Ashish: "No rushing on the field by Oman players. Down to earth. They know that this is just a start. Long long way to go! But for now, congratulations :)"

16.41pm A total of 282 is hunted down, and this becomes Oman's first victory over a Test nation in an ODI. There was a time when Ireland's victory over a Full Member counted as an upset; now Oman take that step, and remind us about the dangers of under-rating absolutely any team in any sport. A combined effort from their batters to beat Ireland, who fell short on a flat pitch. Three half-centuries from the top four - one of them at a strike rate of nearly a hundred, and another higher than it - and Oman win with five wickets and 11 balls left.

Dinesh Asanka: "The entire world is supporting Oman for sure" --- Except Ireland, of course

So this could be done in this over itself: just seven more to win from 18 balls.

Stoffels: "How are we supposed to work with all this exciting cricket going on?" --- Just make an excuse of fever/cough/cold and slip out. Simple!

Charles: "As a Scotsman, I am following this match with keen interest. Go Oman!" --- That's three neutral nations ticked off

Dockrell back. Oman need another 22 from 30.

Shoaib at No. 7. Can Ireland manage something yet?
