India got Past Oman against 21 points in Abu Dhabi to complete the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025 with a heavily fought victory. While the game was at the forefront, the result was expected, but the way Oman fought, huge praise.
India, who chose to hit first, placed 188 for 8 on the board. The innings started with an aggressive intention of Abhishek Sharma, which hammered 38 on just 15 balls with five four and two Sixes. His cameo gave the team the momentum in the power play, but once he fell, the scores speed delayed. Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya fell cheap, while Axar Patel (26 out of 13) played a handy cameo.
Sanju Samson anchored the innings with a 45-ball 56. Moreover, Tilak brought in with 29 out of 18, while Harshit Rana’s undefeated 13 insured India, 180. Oman Bowerde impressively, with Shah Faisal (2 for 23), Jiten Ramanandi (2 for 31) and aamir Kaleem. I
In answer, Oman started brilliantly. Skipper Jatinder Singh and Aamir Kaleem added 56 for the first wicket, while they went all the way in the powerplay. Jatinder eventually cut back one on his stumps of Kuldeep Yadav for 32.
Kaleem and Hammad Mirza built an excellent position of 93 run for the second wicket, so that Oman kept remotely. Kaleem hit seven boundaries and two sixes in his 64 out of 46, while Mirza ran to 51 on 33 balls. When Kaleem was rejected in the 18th and Mirza followed shortly thereafter, Oman’s hope decreased. They finally finished 167 for 4, their second highest total against a full side, only 21 runs shortage of India’s stamp. Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya each took a wicket.
Who said what?
Sanju Samson, player of the game
It was damp and hot outside. Working on my fitness in recent weeks. We just have a new trainer and did the Bronco test. Good to see that I have to spend some time in the middle. They threw really good. Must give Oman credit. Well wool also good in the powerplay, swinging it in advance. I continue to support my strength to stay positive. You must take the positive way every contribution with the bat for your country.
Suryakumar Yadav, India (winning capta)
I will definitely try the next game. Generally impressive, I feel, Oman played an incredible brand cricket. I knew with their coach, Sulu Sir (Sulakshan Kulkarni), there will be Khadosness. It was great, really enjoyed seeing them bat. It is a bit difficult when you sit and suddenly you come out and play (talk about Arshdeep and Harshit). It is so damp here. Unfortunately how he came out, but you can’t keep him away from the game (talking about Hardik Pandya), the way he bowed and the way he got out. All set for Super Fours (when asked about the Sunday collision).
Jatinder Singh, Oman (Captain Losing Captain)
Extremely proud of the unity, the way they came and implement the plans. Very proud of how they showed their character in Crunch situations. The hype of the tournament was somewhere in the mind. As I have said before, we miss experience and exposure. We have the World Cup qualifications in Oman, the boys are ready. I told him, that has become your favorite resignation (talking about Jiten Ramanandi and his run-outs). He is a tool player and a teamman. We are grouped with PNG and Samoa. Boys are ready and look forward to the tournament.
