All-rounder Marcus Stoinis scored an unbeaten 67 and took three wickets as Australia recorded a comfortable 39-run win over Oman in their Twenty20 World Cup opener in Barbados on Wednesday.

Put into bat after losing the toss, the test and one-day world champions had a shaky start, losing Travis Head early on before Oman's Mehran Khan struck twice in two balls to claim the wickets of Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell.

The 34-year-old also had a significant impact with the ball, taking the wickets of Oman captain Aqib Ilyas and batter Zeeshan Maqsood. Earlier on Wednesday, Uganda scored their first-ever victory in a Twenty20 World Cup after beating Papua New Guinea by three wickets in a low-scoring match in Guyana. "Super proud of the work they put in. To get a win for their country at a World Cup, it is pretty special," Uganda captain Brian Masaba said.
