&ldquo;It was a nice start,&rdquo; player of the match Stoinis said afterwards. &ldquo;Maybe a few cobwebs for us, but we&rsquo;re better for it, and nice that we got the win. And nice that I got to spend some time in the middle and have a bit of a bowl.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Stoinis hammered six sixes and two fours during a swashbuckling batting performance. David Warner (56 off 51 balls) helped provide some stability with a half-century as Australia eventually got going after captain Mitchell Marsh and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/pat-loses-luggage-maxi-starc-endure-flight-delays-23352572" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a> fell off successive balls to seamer Mehran Khan in the 11th over.
Brief scores Australia 164-5 (M Stoinis 67*, D Warner 56; M Khan 2-38) beat Oman 125-9 (A Khan 36; M Stoinis 3-19, M Starc 2-20, A Zampa 2-24, N Ellis 2-28) by 39 runs
