Stirling hit 71 off 51 balls to help the tourists set a total of 5-159 in the opening session in Al Amarat on Wednesday.
Stirling and Kevin O'Brien put on 44 for the first wicket before the latter fell to Fayyaz Butt for 19.
After Stirling's departure, also to Butt, Andy Balbirnie (34) and Lorcan Tucker - with an unbeaten 22 - also showed resistance.
Oman's chase was hit by the loss of opener Khawar Ali for five in the second over, but Jatinder Singh (21) and Aamir Kaleem (21) dug in to frustrate the Irish attack.
