India vs Oman HIGHLIGHTS Asia Cup 2025: India avoids Oman scare to stay unbeaten in the event

India vs Oman full scorecard
Despite bowlers having a rare off day today in the final group-stage game of the Asia Cup 2025 against Oman in Abu Dhabi, India still managed to walk away with a tricky win of 21 runs against the debutant to remain only the second unbeaten team after Sri Lanka in the tournament. Oman, with the help of their top three, put the Indian bowlers under pressure later in the innings, but eventually, it was the Men in Blue who prevailed. India will now have one day’s rest before starting their Super 4 campaign against Pakistan on Sunday, September 21.
Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bat first. The decision backfired as they lost their first wicket early after Faisal Shah cleaned up Shubman Gill’s stumps (5) in the second over. But then Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson combined to unleash a counter-attack on Oman and took India to 60 for just one loss in the powerplay. Abhishek Sharma’s fiery 38-run innings came to an end in the eighth over after he was caught behind off Jiten Ramanandi. Two balls later, Hardik Pandya (1) ran himself out as Oman got some footing back in the match.
Axar Patel (25) followed the same template set by other batters and played quickly before losing his wicket to Aamir Kaleem, who, in his next over, removed Shivam Dube (5) to send half the Indian team back to the dug-out. Sanju Samson (56) then completed his slowest career half-century before losing his wicket to Faisal Shah. Tilak Varma (29) was the next batter to depart after losing his wicket to Jiten Ramanandi before he ran out Arshdeep Singh (1).
Harshit Rana (13 not out) added some runs in the end as India finished their innings at 188 for 8.
In reply, Oman started their innings in a steady manner, adding 44 runs without loss in the mandatory powerplay. They extended the opening stand to 56 before Jatinder Singh (32) was cleaned bowled by Kuldeep Yadav. Aamir Kaleem then brought up his second T20I fifty to keep Oman rolling in the match despite the rising required run-rate pressure.
Aamir Kaleem’s innings finally came to a close on 64 when he pulled a short ball from Harshit Rana to deep square leg, where Hardik Pandya took a gem of a catch to dismiss the batter and also end Oman’s 93-run stand for the second wicket.
Meanwhile, Hammid Mirza (51) continued the attack and scored a half-century of his own, but he was not able to add more to his total and lost his wicket to Hardik Pandya as Oman’s hopes of an upset were shut down by India. Arshdeep finally got a wicket in the final over in the form of Vinaay Shukla (1) to reach the 100-wicket mark in T20Is (first Indian to do so). Jiten Ramanandi (12 not out) played some good shots, but Oman’s innings finally came to an end on 167 for 4 after the end of 20 overs, i.e. 21 short of India’s total.
