India (IND) lock horns with Oman (OMN) in match No. 12 of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday, September 19.
India
were the first team to make it to the Super-Four stage of the 2025 Asia Cup. They started their campaign with a nine-wicket win against the UAE. The Men in Blue followed it up with a seven-wicket victory against arch-rivals Pakistan in their subsequent clash. Suryakumar Yadav and Co. are massive favourites heading into this clash. They might rest a few of their players for this inconsequential encounter. Arshdeep Singh could get a game in place of Jasprit Bumrah.
Oman have failed to put up much of a fight in the first two games. Against Pakistan, they lost by 93 runs. In their following match against the UAE, Jatinder Singh and Co. lost by 42 runs to crash out of the tournament. Oman will want to finish their campaign with a strong performance against a rampant Indian side.

IND vs OMN Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma's ultra-aggressive batting approach has been exhilarating to witness. In the first two matches, he has registered scores of 30 off 16 balls and 31 off 13 balls, respectively. If the southpaw can get another start, he will look to capitalise and convert it into a huge score against Oman.
Probable Best Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has been in sensational form in the 2025 Asia Cup. He won the Player of the Match award in India's first two games in the tournament. The left-arm wrist spinner has picked up seven wickets in 6.1 overs at a mind-boggling average of 3.57. He could be the wrecker-in-chief on Friday.
