Well then, this wraps up the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025. It started with a run of one-sided affairs, but as the tournament grew and the race to Super 4 heated up, the intensity did too, with some gripping contests along the way. For the very first time, eight teams began the journey, and now we are down to the best four. From Group A, India and Pakistan, and from Group B, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have booked their places in the Super 4. No time to breathe, the action resumes right away in Dubai with Sri Lanka facing Bangladesh on 20th September, Saturday. The game kicks off with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). But as you all know the drill, do mark your presence an hour earlier for the exciting pre-match analysis and buildup. We sign off, only to meet for the next time. Take care, cheers.
They say in cricket, or in any sport, you either win or you learn. In their maiden Asia Cup campaign, Oman showed plenty of promise despite limited exposure against full-member nations. They head back home with heads held high and plenty of hope to build on for the future. The most important thing about them was that they didn't look overly dependent on a couple of players, but were proactive in all departments, especially in this fixture. For the Indians, they do maintain a clean record and enter the Super 4 with positive momentum. Their first challenge isn't that far as they face Pakistan on Sunday, 21st September.
The Indian skipper, SURYAKUMAR YADAV, is all smiles as he walks up for a chat. Says with a smile that he will definitely try batting ahead at number 11 from the next game. On testing the bench strength, he feels that it was overall an impressive outing and praises Oman for playing an unbelievable brand of cricket. Adds that with their coach, Sulakshan Kulkarni, there was bound to be some 'khadoosness', and he really enjoyed watching them bat. On Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, he mentions how tough it is to suddenly come out and perform after sitting for a while, but both handled it well. Speaking about Hardik Pandya’s unfortunate run-out, he says the conditions are extremely humid. Still, Hardik can never be kept away from the game, pointing to the way he bowled and even the manner of his dismissal. Finally, looking ahead, he says the team is all set for the Super Four and the big clash against Pakistan on Sunday.
The captain of Oman, JATINDER SINGH, is up for a chat. Despite being on the losing side, one can clearly spot a sense of glee on his face. He says that he is extremely proud of the unit. Reflects that they executed their plans really well and stayed in the present. Adds that the boys really showed excellent character in crunch situations. Says that the hype of the tournament was somewhere in the mind. Admits that they do lack experience and exposure and shares that they have the World Cup Qualifiers in Oman as their next big challenge. Shares that they are grouped with Papua New Guinea and Samoa in that tournament. Ends by saying he is really proud of the team for showing great character against the World T20I champions and says they will play with the same energy in the future games.
India's SANJU SAMSON is adjudged as the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his knock of 56 off 45 deliveries. On the hot and humid conditions, he says that it was tough out there, but he has been working on his fitness with the new trainer, Adrian, even doing a Bronco test last week, so he is feeling good. On finding his rhythm late in the innings, he mentions that it was nice to spend some time in the middle. He gives credit to Oman for bowling really well, especially in the Powerplay, where they got the ball to swing. Adds that he always backs his strengths to stay positive. Calling it a typical Samson knock, he concludes by saying that any contribution with the bat for the country is something to take positives from.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Uplifting visuals from the ground. The entire Oman squad has gathered around Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav, with SKY sharing his insights and likely a few words of appreciation too. Overall, a good display of sportsman's spirit. It is then followed by the Oman squad posing for the team photograph as they end their Asia Cup 2025 journey. Also, it was their maiden appearance in this competition. Please stay tuned for the presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, on a seemingly good batting track, India chose to bat first but lost Gill early. Abhishek Sharma provided a perfect launchpad and played his usual aggressive game before falling, while India experimented with their batting order. Sanju Samson looked scratchy, was also dropped on 44, but managed to reach a hard-fought fifty. India kept scoring at close to ten an over consistently, yet Oman impressed with regular breakthroughs and sharp fielding to keep India under 200, which was an achievement in itself, against a batting lineup as deep as this. Suryakumar Yadav did not come out to bat despite eight wickets down, but the total was already imposing. For Oman, Shah Faisal was the standout with two wickets at an economy of under a run a ball. Jiten Ramanandi and Aamir Kaleem also picked up two each, with Jiten involved in a couple of run outs. For Oman, it was a valuable outing filled with lessons, experience, and a lot of positives to take back home.
For India, this outing can be wrapped up in one word - EXPERIMENTATION. They tried out a new batting order and later rotated as many as eight bowlers, yet none managed to strike with consistency. Just when the panic buttons were about to be pressed, Hardik Pandya pulled off a screamer to cut short a courageous innings from Aamir Kaleem. And from there, the wheels just came off towards the backend. Plenty of positives for Oman. They may have fallen short of a daunting target, but they came far closer than most would have expected. In fact, as we mentioned, their fighting spirit against India was far stronger than what Pakistan and the UAE had managed to show.
The Indian bowlers looked desperate in search of wickets, and even with spin deployed in the middle overs, the openers dealt with caution, without being rash. The deadlock was eventually broken as Kuldeep Yadav provided the first wicket by dismissing Jatinder Singh. However, the wickets remained elusive, and Aamir Kaleem, along with Hammad Mirza, formed a partnership of substance. Both got off to their respective fifties, which, of course, they will remember for a long, long time.
Chasing a massive total of 189 runs was always going to be a huge ask for Oman. But Jatinder Singh and Aamir Kaleem formed a stable opening stand with a positive intent and dealt against the pace attack with smart strike rotation and finding boundaries occasionally. They also negotiated well against whatever early movement there was early doors. Not bang-bang throughout, but they did end their Powerplay without losing any wickets, with the score of 44 on the board.
Well played, Oman! They might have lost the game, but the kind of character they showed on the field, across all departments, was really commendable. They kept their best saved against the best. Duleep Mendis, the former Sri Lankan batter and the current head coach of Oman, would be a very happy man seeing this side produce an impressive performance. Neither from Pakistan nor from the UAE, but the Indians were challenged by Oman in their first-ever face-off in T20Is. Who knows, had they just been a bit braver and pushed a bit more in the middle overs, they could have actually pulled off a massive heist.

Arshdeep Singh To Vinayak Shukla OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Oman lose their fourth! Short of a length and around middle, Vinayak Shukla goes back and tries to pull it. The ball follows him, and he gets cramped. Mistimes his shot off the upper half of the bat due to an extra bounce, too. The ball goes flat towards deep mid-wicket, where the substitute fielder, Rinku Singh, moves forward and takes it easily. With this, Arshdeep Singh completes 100 T20I wickets, and becomes the first-ever Indian bowler to reach this milestone. Overall, he is the third-fastest bowler in the world to have achieved this feat, in 64 innings, among full-member nations. He is just behind Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga. More importantly, he has reached this mark in just three years since his debut in this format, which came in the year 2022.
Arshdeep Singh (3-0-24-0) to bowl the final over.

Harshit Rana To Aamir Kaleem OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! A stunner by Hardik Pandya and the impressive innings of Aamir Kaleem come to an end. On a back of a length and around middle and leg, Aamir shapes up for a pull and mistimes it due to an extra bounce. The ball travels flat and fast towards deep fine leg. Hardik runs across to his right, extends both his hands and pouches it, while running just inside the boundary cushions. He keeps running and maintains his balance. The third umpire checks it and calls a fair catch. Aamir Kaleem departs on 64 runs off just 46 balls and gets a good round of applause from the crowd at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium and is greeted by teammates in the dugout with a lot of pats on his shoulder. Rightly so, as he will remember this brave knock for a long, long time. Oman are 149/2, needing 40 more off the last 14 balls.
Is that a clean catch from Hardik? The Indians are celebrating already, but the on-field umpires have sent it upstairs to check. Hardik took the catch, running to his right and kept running with the momentum. The replay confirms that he has kept himself nicely balanced and importantly, within the playing area, without coming in contact with the ropes. OUT!

Axar Patel from point runs to his right and tries to catch. Gets into a bit of a juggling act.

In the meantime, the batters cross each other thrice.

Skids through the deck at 126.9 kph. Good length, on middle and leg. Hammad Mirza tries to work that to the leg side, but closes the bat face early and a thick leading edge is found. The ball flies over backward point and a single is taken.

Tilak Varma To Hammad Mirza
BUZZERS! Very casual in the fielding! Over the stumps, full and around off. Hammad Mirza pushes it to the left of the bowler. Tilak collects it to his left and throws it wayward, to the left of Sanju. The ball rolls towards fine leg and the batters cross for a couple of runs by overthrows.

Tilak Varma To Hammad Mirza
Around the stumps, on a length, on the leg stump. Punched by Mirza to the bowler.
DRINKS BREAK. After the spin has been introduced, the scoring rate for Oman has evidently dipped. They have scored 18 runs off the last 4 overs, and have now lost their main man, the skipper, Jatinder Singh. Regardless, this is their best batting stint in this Asia Cup, and more importantly, against an opposition like India. Losing only 1 wicket at halfway is a huge achievement, indeed. The Indians would be hoping that the spinners do not let the runs leak in this middle phase and kill the game here itself. Another bowling change. More spin. Tilak Varma is called into the attack after the break. Oman need 127 runs off the last 60 balls.

BEATEN! Hard length and outside off, Mirza throws his hands at it and looks to cut it, but connects with thin air only due to some extra bounce.

Kuldeep Yadav To Jatinder Singh OUT!
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! No need for any review on this occasion, and Kuldeep Yadav strikes, taking the first wicket for his side. Short and around off, on a flatter trajectory, skidding through and turning away. Jatinder Singh is rushed into the shot. He goes back and tries to play across the line. Loses his shape and misses on the outside edge, and the ball crashes onto the top of the off stump. Singh walks back for 32 (33), and Oman are 56/1, needing 133 more.

Kuldeep Yadav To Aamir Kaleem
Massive appeal for LBW from the bowler and the keeper, but the umpire shakes his head. Kuldeep Yadav forces his skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, straightaway to go for a review and India go upstairs. A bit short and around off, turning into the batter. Aamir Kaleem sits down and tries to drag it with a sweep but misses. Gets hit on the ribs. The third umpire is called in and there is nothing on the UltraEdge. However, the Ball Tracking shows that the ball has pitched outside off and the impact is outside off as well. India lose a review and the on-field call stays.
After 8 overs, Oman are 55/0. They need 134 runs to win from 72 balls. At the same stage, India were 75/3. Kuldeep Yadav (1-0-6-0) to continue with a slip in place.

Axar Patel To Jatinder Singh
Excellent review from Jatinder Singh! Slower and a bit shorter, around middle and leg, creating an angle from wide of the crease. Jatinder Singh sits down, changes his stance and grip for a reverse-sweep but plays all over it. Seems to have gotten a faint edge off the gloves and the keeper, Sanju Samson moves to his left, pouches it. India appeal and the umpire raises his finger. However, Singh doesn't take much time to refer it upstairs. Nothing comes on the UltraEdge. Now, there is a check for LBW, and the Ball Tracking shows that it would have missed the leg stump. The on-field call gets overturned and Singh survives.

Begins with a loopy, full ball, around off, Aamir Kaleem clips it in the gap with soft hands towards deep square leg and picks up two runs. Good running between the wickets. Uh-oh, Kuldeep Yadav has overstepped and it is called a NO BALL. A Free-Hit is coming up...
With 44/0 on the board, this is Oman's best Powerplay score in this Asia Cup. They have managed to cross the 40-run figure all three times. 40/2 against Pakistan, and 41/4 against the UAE. Time for spin as Kuldeep Yadav is introduced into the attack. He replaces Arshdeep Singh.

Around the stumps now. Short and angling into the batter. Jatinder Singh stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket. The ball, however, just loses its steam on the way to the ropes and is chased by Shubman Gill from the inner ring. He flicks the ball into the playing area but runs into the ropes with the momentum. The other incoming fielder gathers it and throws it back to the keeper. The batters, in the meantime, cross each other thrice. 6 off this over as well. 156 needed for Oman in 90 balls.
