Could Oman have done anything differently at the toss or in their strategy to change the outcome?

I feel they should have used their spinners in the powerplay to surprise UAE batsmen. UAE looked very comfortable against fast bowlers, so Oman missed a chance with variation.

If Oman had batted first, maybe the pressure would have been less. Chasing in Abu Dhabi under lights can be difficult. Strategy-wise, they should have kept more wickets in hand before the last overs.

Sometimes it is not about toss but execution. Oman dropped catches and missed fielding chances. That killed their strategy completely. Even the best plan fails without proper fielding.
