India (188/8) defeat Oman (167/4) by 21 runs in Match 12 of Asia Cup 2025

[JaDed]

His test series against Australia, test series against England, world cup final, then that catch of Mitch marsh in wt20 2024. His legacy is terrific.

And yet if you ask so many people in India about Axar they will be like who, he keeps his head down and just plays.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dube gone.

Time for SKY to steady the ship and take it past 230.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lets see what Tilak can do.

 

[Local.Dada]

Oman's strategy is simple. Bowl wide, keep the trajectory low at an angle. Very defensive strategy. OCcasionally they got wickets with that strategy as well.

Target already out of reach. UAE at least has a couple of dangerous hitters Alishan and Md Waseem. Oman has too many over the hill uncles. How bad is Nepal that they failed to qualify this

WIth their limited resources they are doing okay. But this is their ceiling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Apart from Pandya and Dube others got a hit.

 

[JaDed]

Is Naseem shah that famous he is getting major advertisements?

[Devadwal]

Apart from Pandya and Dube others got a hit.

Samson is playing proper statpadding knock.

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

Is Naseem shah that famous he is getting major advertisements?

best of the lot i guess.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson is ultra scratchy.

 

[JaDed]

Don't think we will make even 180 considering how Sanju bhai has been doing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson is exhausted.

 

[Devadwal]

Is Naseem shah that famous he is getting major advertisements?

Maybe because he is famous for hair flip

 

[Devadwal]

Lol they are playing tuktuk cricket

 

[RidiculousMan]

Expecting Samson to score another 100

 

[jnaveen1980]

Expecting Samson to score another 100

I don't think he has any energy.

 

[JaDed]

finally a big shot

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is embarrassing to see Asia cup where 40 year old unclec chasing the boundary ball lethargically.

 

[Justcrazy]

153 . 5

24 balls to go.

 

[jnaveen1980]

70% of their balls missed the stumps by a foot.

 

[Sachin fan]

best of the lot i guess.

How is a bowler who averages 35 in t20s and tests (same stats as Prasad and Kurivilla), best of the lot? Best of what?

 

[RidiculousMan]

220 still on

 

[jnaveen1980]

220 still on

It doesn't matter 220, 200, 180. I think their idea is for everyone to have a hit as India hasn't played T20I for a long time

 

[RehanG]

This shows perfectly that this Indian batting lineup is vulnerable batting first and bowling good lines.

 

[Local.Dada]

Mate I can't understand them either . I'm not a clinical psychologist but even if I was thats way too many patients to deal with lol.

Mate; you don’t have a Abhshek or Jaiswal in your domestics. Yes there are some good talent that can be developed to be world class. You don’t cut off your nose to spite your face as the saying goes. Pak has no issues with talent, they have issues with temperament. You can’t leave the rare players you get who have that clutch gene.iykyk

 

[jnaveen1980]

This shows perfectly that this Indian batting lineup is vulnerable batting first and bowling good lines.

Bowling at 117 kph outside the off stump lines? That is where they bowled mostly lol

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic innings by Samson . Gill khel leta asi innings to indian fans uske bare m hi bat karte

 

[RehanG]

Bowling at 117 kph outside the off stump lines? That is where they bowled mostly lol

exactly, but couldn't get it away on good and tighter lines.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think Pakistan will do that. They will bowl at the stumps a

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is not even batting lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is SKY going to declare the innings or what if 2 more wickets fall?

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a total farce. I think SKy was afraid of heat and stayed away.

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic Selfish knock by Samson

Sky oversmart ban rha hai.

 

[Local.Dada]

How slow are these Oman bowlers bowling

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

How is a bowler who averages 35 in t20s and tests (same stats as Prasad and Kurivilla), best of the lot? Best of what?

Paksitani current day players.

They need to put someone's face.

And his stats are worse. Its like 48 vs SENA.

 

[Local.Dada]

It is a total farce. I think SKy was afraid of heat and stayed away.

For a second I thought you forgot this in the end it’s alright brother, it’s batting practice

 

[jnaveen1980]

How slow are these Oman bowlers bowling

Extremely slow. That is their natural speed.

 

[Local.Dada]

Isn’t Friday a Holiday in Dubai? Wasim surprised how so many families turned up

 

[jnaveen1980]

For a second I thought you forgot this in the end it’s alright brother, it’s batting practice

I don't mind that. I am just saying international matches are used for net session. I don't think bilaterals would be played like this.

 

[Champ_Pal]

What was the point of sending Harshit Rana? He is not going to play in the next round anyways.
Sky needed the practice. He is short of run too. Stupid decision.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY's biggest troll has to be this lol Sending ARshdeep ahead of him

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think he is going to declare.

 

[Shafikapeo]

Don't know what Gambhir and Sky wants to try against this bowling line up. If sky doesn't wanna bat he should have dropped himself

 

[Devadwal]

SKY's biggest troll has to be this lol Sending ARshdeep ahead of him

He made fool of himself. PR dramaybaazi nothing else

 

[Local.Dada]

I think he is going to declare.

If he does that, he is going to be a 360 captain along with 360 batsmen. Lmao. Especially after the innovation from last game

 

[Usman Chadda]

240 nahi hua, but dominating performance by India with the bat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep is batting? oh SKY is not playing. lol Didn't even know that.

 

[Local.Dada]

240 nahi hua, but dominating performance by India with the bat.

Aaj ki choti khushi . Ruk ja maybe Oman will chase this.

 

[Champ_Pal]

This is stupid from SKY.

He could’ve taken rest like Bumrah. Why be in the playing XI as a batsman and not even bat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If India scores more runs against Pakistan than this then can we say Oman bowling > Pakistan bowling.

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

240 nahi hua, but dominating performance by India with the bat.

Ho jata if SKY had come in

 

[Devadwal]

240 nahi hua, but dominating performance by India with the bat.

Don't be a Clown Indian team just giving match practise to everyone that's why sky is not coming to bat.

But Pakistanyo ke bat ye samjh nahi ayegi.

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

Kuldeep is batting? oh SKY is not playing. lol Didn't even know that.

He is. Just giving them practice.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is. Just giving them practice.

Not sure why bowlers have to bat. What if they pull something.

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

Not sure why bowlers have to bat. What if they pull something.

Just in case

 

[Devadwal]

This is stupid from SKY.

He could’ve taken rest like Bumrah. Why be in the playing XI as a batsman and not even bat.

Exactly , Jitesh should have played

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya's freak run out kinda upset the plan a bit. He usually blitzes these slow merchants.

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

Not bad.

Would prolly be 220ish if SKY had come in

 

[Hellion]

Remember India doing something similar in a dead rubber in the previous Asia Cup against Bangladesh.

Some very silly bowling changes etc. just to ensure they have a target the chase.

Bangladeshis celebrated the resultant win for them like a World Cup win

Even in 2018, rested half the team vs Afghanistan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

dull atmosphere, dull pitch, dull opposition, dull cricket overall. Okay nothing more to see in this match anymore. Just wanted to see India bat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanj samsum , Sanju samsung he is still getting it right - Akram

 

[Hellion]

Even in 2018, rested half the team vs Afghanistan.

They should open the bowling now with Shivam Dube

 

[JaDed]

Below par score

 

[sweep_shot]

TEAM IPL couldn't cross 200 against Oman.

It is a win for Oman.

IND - 188/8 (20 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done SKY has insulted the audience especially Indian ones. They come there to see him bat. He should respect fans always.

 

[Devadwal]

There was no point for batting practice to Arsdeep, Harshit because they are not going to play next games.

Apart from Pakistan innings, sky didn't score much runs in last 10 T20i .

It's not about winning this match , we have too many runs already so no problem at all.

This is dumb logic and PR dramaybaazi which can change the entire momentum for Next match.

 

[gazza619]

Oman can be proud of their bowling performance against India. Next stage would be for batters to score 140.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hope this feedback doesn’t change if you beat us on Sunday

Even if Pakistan somehow wins the Asia Cup (which they won't), it won't change the fact that India right now is light-years ahead in all formats

 

[BDfanforever]

dull atmosphere, dull pitch, dull opposition, dull cricket overall. Okay nothing more to see in this match anymore. Just wanted to see India bat.

I thought I saw a lot of folks on the stand.

 

[Major]

Did soooriya insulted the opposition with that attitude?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even if Pakistan somehow wins the Asia Cup (which they won't), it won't change the fact that India right now is light-years ahead in all formats

This format is an over-rated format. Real reflection should be seen in longer formats.

 

[AZulfi]

India batted in patches like Pakistan today..

There was a period when no boundaries were hit for 22 balls

Still 188 against Oman should be more than enough

Not surprising as apart from Abhishek nobody scored any runs in 2025. Played 7 games. DUbe scored some runs. Other than that nobody. India still won all fhtme except 1.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India won most matches in year 2025 due to their bowling and Abhishek. In 2024 batsmen dominated massively.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think India is massively shooting themselves in the foot by forcing Gill into this set up.

 

[RehanG]

Well Sky didn’t bat to be bowled for 0 in next match.
If you don’t respect the game and t doesn’t respect you.

 

[sweep_shot]

Most Indians do not have have good manners. SKY is no exception.

A bit of recent success got to their heads I guess.

You are unlikely to see Aussie and English cricketers behaving like this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think it is an insult to Indian audience. They are not coming to see INdia give net practice to tailenders
