India vs Oman Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: Arshdeep Singh becomes first Indian to 100 T20I wickets; IND seal victory

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Arshdeep already sits as India's leading wicket-taker in the format, but has a chance to become the first to reach triple digits in this format of the game. He has been asked to ride the bench with only one seamer being used, but the odds being that he gets a run out today, it will be a golden opportunity for him to achieve this impressive milestone.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Jasprit Bumrah's workload remains a question over this tournament. With Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana on the bench, this could be a chance to give India's star seamer a brief break before the business end of this tournament.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: India have played both their games so far in Dubai, and will likely play out the tournament in Dubai as well unless they somehow get beaten by a margin that sees them finish second – a massive improbability.

The Sheikh Zayed Stadium presents different challenges: it has been higher-scoring than Dubai, and also more on offer for seamers. For a team that has been happily spin-heavy at this venue across formats this year, a change in combination might possibly be on the cards.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: While this pair of Indian all-rounders have done their bit as support for the frontline bowlers, providing crucial overs and keeping it clean while showing threat, they remain untested with the bat. Pandya looks likely to bat lower down at number six, having spent a couple of years plying his trade higher up the order, and it's even more extreme for Axar Patel. Used as a floater higher up the order for both India and Delhi Capitals in the IPL, his role at number 7 means he might need to get to terms with seeing fewer deliveries but matching his impact.

Ball-one hitting ability is at a premium in this tournament, but both these quality all-rounders will need to show themselves to be capable of it when the need arises.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: India haven't been able to get Sanju Samson tested out in his new role lower down the order just yet with simple chases against UAE and Oman. With him trying out a new role, potentially as a finisher, India will know that a low-stakes match like today's might make it more comfortable for him, rather than a crunch situation down the line. The hope will be to get him some batting time tonight.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Through to the Super 4s, facing a team that isn't designed to go toe-to-toe with them at this top level, India will be confident that they can pull off a pretty comfortable win. That means the focus will be more on the nitty-gritties that this match allows them to deal with. There aren't any glaring issues in this team, which looks and is playing with a great balance. It is about getting the right things in their right places. So what will this entail going into the match?

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Already out of this tournament and with only left with pride to play for, Oman will need to do something almost unheard of to end this seven-match losing streak they find themselves the subjects of. It is not the run of form you want heading into a T20 World Cup qualification tournament – but that is what is up next for Oman, as they host the East-Asia-Pacific World Cup Qualifiers on home turf next month.

They will believe they are amongst the frontrunners to qualify through, but for that, they will be desperate for some momentum and confidence. A win isn't necessary for that, but if they get hammered, they will be massively on the back foot heading into that tournament.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: It does mark a big day for Omani cricket, as this will be the first time they face off against the most successful Asian cricketing nation. They have never faced each other in T20I cricket, meaning this match – India's 250th in the format – will see them break new ground. An important day for a cricketing country with its fair share of Indian-origin players.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: With their winning streak now up to four, and two out of two wins in this tournament, India are the form team and sitting pretty as the team to beat. The world champions have just looked a level above, no clear weaknesses in the team and some world-beaters littered across their entire lineup. It looks like it would take something special to overcome the men in blue.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: India have been comfortably through to the Super 4s for a while, Pakistan joined them with a win over UAE, and Group B was decided after Sri Lanka eliminated Afghanistan yesterday evening, taking themselves and Bangladesh through to the next round. In terms of qualification, nothing riding on this one.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: We have reached the last match of the Asia Cup 2025 group stage. There has been plenty to talk about, even in a tournament that has seen plenty of one-sided matches and not too many thrillers. Today's likely won't be either, if the form guide is anything to go by – but the chance of strange things happening is why we all love sports. Can Oman give India a good scare today as a parting gift in their last match of the tournament? Stay tuned and let's find out.
