| Venue | : | Kuwait |
| Dates | : | 31st March - 9th April 2010 |
| Match Referee Mehboob Khan awards the Man of the Match to Awal Khan of Oman for his lively seam bowling and 4-29 in the morning. | |
| 173 was unlikely to be enough and so it proved as the Omani batsmen pretty much did as they pleased against some earnest but unthreatening Singaporean bowling which was just a liitle too short and too full too often. | |
| A good result for Oman, they never let Singapore have a sniff of a chance from the morning as their bowlers just strangled the Singapore batsmen. | |
