Ordinarily, Ireland vs. Oman is not exactly a T20 fixture to set the pulse racing. 

Wednesday's nail-biting Oman victory in the first round of the World T20 was an exception. 

The real highlight was not the decisive moment, when Ireland's Max Sorensen delivered a full-toss no ball that went for four. 

It was the unbelievable athleticism in the field. 

First Zeeshan Maqsood took an astonishing catch to dismiss Paul Stirling.

Then Gary Wilson topped him with a mind-blowing piece of skill to deny Oman what seemed a certain six runs. 

From the moment it left the bat, that ball was headed way over the rope, but Wilson was determined to change that.

If this is the quality on display in the first round, just imagine how good this tournament will be when the big boys turn up. 

Titillating.
