India Vs Oman Cricket Scorecard & H2H, Match 12 – Asia Cup 2025

Honestly, almost everyone expected a total walkover, but Oman had completely different plans when they stepped onto the Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch.

India chose to bat first and stumbled early on. Abhishek Sharma gave them a fast, chaotic start with 38 off just 15 balls, but the rest of the top order collapsed around him. Sanju Samson had to drop anchor, grinding out a gritty 56 from 45 deliveries. With some late swinging from Tilak Varma and Axar Patel, India scraped together 188 for 8 a score that felt safe on paper, but Oman proved otherwise.

The chase turned out to be pure drama. Aamir Kaleem and Hammad Mirza went absolutely fearless, smashing the Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground. Kaleem’s smooth 64 and Mirza’s rapid 51 had the favorite side looking genuinely panicked for a solid hour.

It was only in the final three overs that India managed to squeeze the runs and lock down the boundary options. Oman ended up short at 167 for 4, losing by 21 runs, but they walked away with all the respect. The night was extra special for Arshdeep Singh too, as he quietly picked up his landmark 100th T20I wicket.
