T20 World Cup: Marcus Stoinis powers Australia to 39-run win in opener vs Oman

Australia overcame a sluggish start with the bat to notch up a clinical 39-run victory at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies. Chasing the Aussie target of 165 runs, Oman could only muster 125 runs in response in their 20 overs. Marcus Stoinis was the star with both and ball for the Mitchell Marsh-led side, scoring an unbeaten 67 off just 36 balls and then picking up three wickets for just 19 runs off his three overs.
