Brandon McMullen's unbeaten 61 guided Scotland to a seven-wicket victory over Oman in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.

Oman set a target of 150/7, largely due to Pratik Athavale's impressive 54 off 40 balls, which included five fours and two sixes.

Richie Berrington's team chased down the target, scoring 153/3 in just 14 overs, keeping their hopes alive for reaching the Super Eights after a win against Namibia and an abandoned match against England.

Scotland now leads the points table with five points and a strong net run rate. Group B's action continues on June 11 with a match between Australia and Namibia.
