Oman almost had to wave 'Goodbye' to World Cup due to deadly storm
The Peninsula
The chairman of Oman's cricket board told Reuters he would have had to wave "Goodbye" to the Twenty20 World Cup had a deadly storm that ripped through the Gulf state on Sunday taken a slightly different path.
Eleven people were killed as heavy winds and rain swept through the country after tropical storm Shaheen made landfall in Oman.
The Gulf state will host six Group B matches at Al Amerat near Muscat, including three involving their own team, and Oman Cricket Chairman Pankaj Khimji said they were "very fortunate" to have missed the worst of the storm.
