Overview
The Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium has hosted a limited but statistically significant number of T20 International matches.

This narrow two-day window defines the current T20I history at this ground.
Hong Kong is the most active team at this venue, having played in both available matches. The stadium's T20I record book is defined by extreme individual performances within this small sample size. The highest team total recorded at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium is 180/5, achieved by Oman on 2016-02-19. This score remains the benchmark for batting dominance at the ground.
Conversely, the lowest team total is 146/7, posted by Hong Kong on 2016-02-21. These two scores frame the range of team performances at the venue. Individual records are equally stark. The highest individual batting score is 122, scored by Babar Hayat on 2016-02-19. This century stands as the premier batting achievement in the stadium's T20I history.
On the bowling side, the best figures are 3/12, recorded by Mohammad Naveed on 2016-02-21. These statistics highlight the volatility of T20I cricket at this venue, with high scores and tight bowling spells occurring within a 48-hour period. The data from these two matches provides the complete statistical profile for T20I play at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium as of the current records.
What is the highest team total at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium?
The highest team total recorded at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in T20I cricket is 180/5, achieved by Oman against Hong Kong on 19 February 2016. This score stands as the benchmark for batting performance at the venue, which has hosted a limited number of matches since its first T20I fixture in 2016. The chase or defense of this total occurred during the opening match of the venue's T20I history, setting the stage for subsequent games played there.
In contrast to the high-scoring effort by Oman, the lowest team total at the ground is 146/7. This score was posted by Hong Kong against the United Arab Emirates on 21 February 2016. The difference between the highest and lowest totals highlights the varying pitch conditions and match dynamics experienced during the two matches held at the stadium. The 146/7 total represents the lower end of scoring outputs recorded in the venue's T20I records.
Individual batting records
Individual batting records
The highest individual batting score at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in T20I cricket is 122 runs, achieved by Babar Hayat. This performance stands out as the most significant individual contribution in the venue's limited T20I history. The innings was delivered during the match played on 2016-02-19, which also saw Oman post the highest team total of 180/5 at the ground. Babar Hayat's century remains the benchmark for batting excellence at this venue, highlighting the pitch's potential to reward aggressive stroke-play when conditions favor the batsmen.
With only two T20I matches held at the stadium as of the most recent data, the sample size for individual records is small but definitive. The first match took place on 2016-02-19, and the second followed shortly after on 2016-02-21. These two encounters provide the complete dataset for individual achievements at this location. No other player has surpassed or equaled Babar Hayat's 122-run knock in the two games played. The brevity of the T20I history at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium means that each record holds significant weight, with no subsequent matches to challenge the existing benchmarks. The venue's T20I legacy is thus defined by these two specific days in February 2016, where both team and individual milestones were established.
Best bowling figures at the venue
Best bowling figures at the venue
Mohammad Naveed holds the record for the best bowling performance at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in T20I cricket. His figures of 3/12 were achieved on 2016-02-21, during the second of only two T20I matches held at this venue. This performance stands out as the most economical and wicket-taking spell recorded in the limited sample of games played here.
The match in which Naveed took his three wickets contributed to the lowest team total recorded at the ground. Hong Kong posted 146/7 in that same encounter, facing a strong bowling display that kept the run rate in check. Naveed's ability to pick up three wickets for just 12 runs demonstrates the impact of individual bowling excellence in tight T20I contests.
With only two T20I matches hosted at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium, statistical records remain sparse. The first match took place on 2016-02-19, and the second followed two days later on 2016-02-21. Naveed's performance in the latter game remains the benchmark for bowlers at this venue, given the small number of opportunities available.
The contrast between the two matches highlights the variability of conditions and team performances. While Oman scored 180/5 in the first match, Hong Kong struggled to 146/7 in the second. Naveed's 3/12 was instrumental in restricting Hong Kong's total, showcasing the importance of key bowling spells in determining the outcome of T20I games.
As the most active team at the venue, Hong Kong has participated in both matches held at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium. Their involvement in the game where Naveed achieved his best figures underscores the team's role in shaping the venue's early T20I history. The limited number of matches means that each performance carries significant weight in defining the venue's statistical profile.
The highest individual batting score at this venue, 122 by Babar Hayat, occurred in the first match on 2016-02-19. This high-scoring effort by Oman contrasts with the more defensive bowling display by Naveed in the second match. The difference in team totals and individual performances between the two games illustrates the diverse nature of T20I cricket at this location.
Naveed's 3/12 remains the best bowling figures at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium, a record that may stand for years due to the infrequent hosting of T20I matches. The venue's small sample size means that each match contributes significantly to the overall statistical narrative. As T20I cricket continues to expand, future matches at this ground could challenge or reinforce Naveed's current standing.
The data from Cricsheet confirms that Naveed's performance is the best recorded at this venue. With only two matches in the dataset, the statistical landscape is defined by these two games. Naveed's 3/12 is a notable achievement that highlights the impact of individual brilliance in T20I cricket, even in venues with limited match history.
Team participation records

Analysis of team records at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium shows a clear dominance by Hong Kong in terms of match count. With two appearances, the team holds the top spot for most active teams.
