India vs Oman Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: India beat Oman by 21 runs

"Overall impressive, I feel, Oman played unbelievable brand of cricket. I knew with their coach, Sulu sir (Sulakshan Kulkarni), there will be khadoosness. It was amazing, really enjoyed watching them bat. It's a little difficult when you're sitting and suddenly you come out and play (talking about Arshdeep and Harshit). It's so humid here. Unfortunate how he got out but you can't keep him away from the game (talking about Hardik Pandya), the way he bowled and the way he got out. All set for Super Fours (when asked about the Sunday clash)," Surya said.

"It was humid and hot out there. Working on my fitness on the last few weeks. We just got a new trainer and did the Bronco test. Good to see I got to spend some time in the middle. They bowled reallt well. Have to give credit to Oman. Bowled well in the powerplay also, were swinging it upfront. I keep backing my strength to stay positive. Any contribution with the bat for your country, you have to take the positives," Samson said.

Oman put up a brilliant batting display, finishing 167/4, but ultimately fell short by 21 runs in the Asia Cup’s final group match. India remained unbeaten in Group A, winning all three matches, and will next face Pakistan in the Super Fours on Sunday.

Oman's openers put on a 56-run stand during the powerplay. Jatinder Singh chopped one back onto his stumps off Kuldeep Yadav, and many expected a collapse, but Aamir Kaleem and Hammad Mirza had other plans. Both scored fifties and shared a 93-run partnership for the second wicket. The set batters fell towards the end, but India’s experience and composure ensured they saw the match through.

OUT! Arshdeep Singh becomes first Indian bowler to complete 100 wickets in men's T20Is. Vinayak Shukla with a big pull shot but messes up the timing and holes out to (sub) Rinku Singh at deep mid-wicket

OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Hammad Mirza. He spliced a delivery that dug in on middle and off, climbing sharply. Backing away, he tried to forehand it over mid-off but only managed a soft chip to Rinku, who moved slightly to his right and completed the catch. Oman 154/3 in 18.5 Overs

FOUR! Hammad Mirza races to fifty off just 30 balls. He plants his front foot and blasts it between mid off and extra cover for four off Hardik Pandya. Oman 153/2 in 18.2 Overs

OUT! A huge moment of relief for India as Aamir Kaleem’s brilliant 64 comes to an end. Harshit Rana gets the wicket, but it was Hardik Pandya’s sensational effort on the boundary that made it possible. A full delivery onto the pads, Kaleem flicks it toward fine leg, and Pandya moves to his right, throwing his hands out to complete a stunning catch. Oman 149/2 in 17.4 Overs

Hammad Mirza goes after Kuldeep Yadav in the 16th over, smashing back-to-back sixes with powerful slog sweeps before adding a couple of singles. Aamir Kaleem chipped in with one as Oman kept the chase alive, collecting 15 runs off the over. Oman 131/1 after 16 Overs

FIFTY! Aamir Kaleem gets to his fifty with a single towards point. He takes off his helmet, raises his bat to acknowledge the applause, then bows to the ground in celebration. Oman 116/1 after 15 Overs

STAT: Eight bowlers are the joint-most India has used in a T20I game. Today is the 5th time they have used as many in an innings.

FOUR! Aamir Kaleem gets a top edge off Hardik Pandya that goes just over the keeper's head for four. Oman 100/1 in 13.5 Overs

Abhishek Sharma’s first over proves costly as Aamir Kaleem launches him for a six over deep mid-wicket, followed by a boundary from Hammad Mirza through backward point. Oman 92/1 after 13 overs.

Oman show little intent in chasing 189. New batter Hammad Mirza has struck a couple of boundaries in his unbeaten 16 off 12, but there’s been no real effort to push towards the target. Oman 80/1 after 12 Overs

Halfway through the innings, Oman are well behind in their chase with 62 runs on the board after 10 overs. They started positively but lost momentum after the powerplay. Still, with only one wicket down, they’ve shown resilience and intent to bat through against the world champions.

CHOPPED ON! India finally get a breakthrough. In-form Kuldeep Yadav gives Oman a first blow by removing Jatinder Singh for 32. Jatinder goes for the pull, gets cramped, and the under-edge deflects onto the stumps. Oman 56/1 in 8.3 Overs
