Pakistan vs Oman HIGHLIGHTS Asia Cup 2025: PAK get 93-run opening win against Oman in Dubai
Salman and co. get their tournament up and running with a convincing win on the night ahead of their crucial clash against India on Sunday.
PAK vs OMN
Pakistan produced a dominant all-round display to register a crushing 93-run victory over Oman in their T20I fixture, thanks to a clinical bowling performance that bundled Oman out for just 61 in 16.4 overs after setting a target of 155.
Earlier, Pakistan posted 154/7 in their 20 overs, with Sahibzada Farhan (41 off 27) and Salman Agha (39 off 24) providing the early impetus after the loss of Mohammad Haris. Despite a steady start, Oman pulled things back in the middle overs with tight bowling spells, especially from Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt. However, a late flourish from Iftikhar Ahmed (21)* helped Pakistan reach a competitive total.
Chasing 155, Oman’s innings quickly unraveled. Jatinder Singh was bowled by a beautiful carrom ball from Saim Ayub in the second over, setting the tone. Saim struck again in the 4th over, trapping Aamir Kaleem LBW. Oman tried to build through Hammad Mirza, who top-scored with 27 (23), but wickets fell consistently at the other end.
The Pakistani spinners took full control in the middle overs, led by Sufiyan Muqeem (3-0-7-2) and Abrar Ahmed (3.4-1-14-1). Oman collapsed spectacularly from 42/3 to 61 all out. Notably, during overs 7-15, Oman managed only 18 runs for 7 wickets, including 43 dot balls, which is the second-most dots in this phase by a full-member team in T20I history.
Shaheen Afridi (4-0-20-1) and Faheem Ashraf (2-0-6-2) also chipped in with timely wickets. The final blow came when Shakeel Ahmed lofted one straight to Shaheen Afridi at long-off, ending Oman’s innings with a tame surrender.
With this emphatic win, Pakistan showcased their bowling depth and tactical dominance, building momentum ahead of their key clashes in the tournament. Oman, on the other hand, will need to regroup quickly and address their batting woes if they hope to stay competitive.
