On September 19, the India vs Oman Asia Cup 2025 match will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. This will be the first time that Oman will face India in international cricket. For India, the game is a chance to give unused squad members match practice, especially bowlers and middle-order batters, before the Super Four stage. Oman, already out, will treat it as valuable preparation ahead of hosting the T20 World Cup Asia & EAP Qualifier next month.
Sanju Samson is yet to bat in the tournament and could get an opportunity here. India may rest Jasprit Bumrah, with Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana likely to come in. Abhishek Sharma remains key at the top, while Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma may still struggle to find a spot. Oman, struggling with batting collapses, has rotated heavily and may shuffle again.
The match will be played in Abu Dhabi, where conditions favor pace more than spin compared to Dubai. This could influence both sides’ selections. Notably, Abhishek Sharma holds the highest T20I strike rate among batters with 500+ runs, and Arshdeep Singh sits on 99 T20I wickets, close to becoming India’s fastest century wicket-taker in the format.
