What's new

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

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.
Sky didn't bat to give everyone else match practice considering he got a bit in the Pak game. It's a dead rubber. What's the point?

He didn't want the others to bat for the first time in the Pak game if it comes to that.
 
Ball is coming nicely on the bat in 2nd innings here. Last night Lankan chase was also here.

But india don't have any game here so doens't matter for us.

:kp
Their batting is way better than these joker ali, random hasan. These guys probably have a 9 to 5 job. They already do better than some of our neighbors.
 
Without Bumrah indian fast bowlers looks toothless. This big unit Harshit looks like a potential run machine

Without Bumrah, Siraj, Kohli, and Rohit, India are pretty much a mid-tier team.

Even Abhishek is untested against good international sides. He mostly dominated minnows and depleted sides. :inti

Abishek scored 15, 16, and 4 against Bangladesh last time he faced Bangladesh. If Bangladesh can do that to him, imagine what SENA bowlers would do.

Hahahahahaha

Edited your post cause you mentioned England lol.

Had a 50 and 36 vs SA

Averaged 55.8 against England with a 134, a 79 and some quick fire 20s.
 
Opening partnership average against India


Oman Infinity (55 unbeaten)

Bangladesh 22

That shows what a pathetic team Bangladesh is.
I feel bad taking digs at Bangladeshis just because of this chintu. Sure some of them are anti-India and there are a lot of good ones too.but that’s ok even if someone is anti probably their political narrative that’s fine. You can have some sane discussion with some Pakistanis atleast.

But my god, this chintu is something else. I feel even the mods are tolerating this at the expense of having a laugh at Indian posters getting triggered once in a while. Don’t see any redeeming value.
 
Asia like this is Too many associates makes it too long. Need 6 teams only with one associate making it via a qualifying round.
 
Kuldeep Yadav is on the top of his game atm..He and Bumrah are real threat against any opposition. Bumrah is the best in the business due to his unorthodox action. Dube looks trundler to me ..nothing special
 
Fast bowlers are not at all needed in this tournament. Just 5 spinners
Once in a while you will need pace. Someone like Shaheen or some such lower order hack can get hold of spinners on these surfaces because they are slow. You need pace against such bowling allrounders/ tailenders who can hit usually. I am sure Nabi wouldn’t have hit 5 6s if Chameera or the other pacer were bowling.

He is a trundler. That is what works here though. Bowles bowling fast are not doing well.
 
Can’t beleive Nepal are worse than Oman with the amount of craze they have for cricket
Nepal is a strange case for me. They have 100% native players in the associate nations level, they made it to 2014 world t20 and we thought their cricket would kick on but they seem to have lost their ways, big time.

Other day Dube trouble batsmen due to his slow pace than 135 k bowlers

Dube can bowl is something most Indians had erased from memory too. He is getting bowling practice lol.
 
So the entire Oman team is full of Indians and pakistanis? Not even srilankans?
There aren't even that many Sri Lankans in the world.

Their population is around the same as that of Karachi or Mumbai.

Plus they are relatively rich so they hardly immigrate.

Only places with significant SL diaspora is France and Canada and they are SL tamils who don't like identifying as Sri Lankans.

Nepal did well in 2024 World T20. Almost beat South Africa. South Africa won by 1 run only.

Nepal is an okay associate. Hong Kong simply upset them in the Asia Cup qualifier. They are better than Hong Kong in my opinion.
 
Even with the 8 teams and this dumb format, this first round games could have been wrapped up in 6 days with double headers everyday.

They have elongated this tournament needlessly.

Nepal were made to look better by the NYC pitch (like Pakistan vis a vis India)
 
Gotta say this is one of the worst T20 tournament in history.

2016 Asia Cup was the best format where everyone plays everyone.

This format is extremely harsh on Ban and Afg while being extremely favourable to Pakistan who are just given the super 4 spot on a plate thanks to the easy group.

These Oman batsmen look more talented than your typical dullahs from Bangladesh , gotta get said.
they are playing without any pressure of losing the game..no expectations from them ..pakistan is the team which always crumble under pressure. They probably need some therapy from psychologist to fix it.

Pakistan crumble under pressure because they don't have the skills to perform under pressure. No psychologist can fix that.

Yea these 9 to 5 uncles play with ease against world no.1 ranked side. Teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh play premiere leagues all over the world, they play a lot of internatinoal T20 matches than these guys. Yet performance is similar from both against India. If you give enough practice to Oman batsmen they might surpass our neighbors
 
Just let Abhsihek, Tilak bowl the remaining overs, let’s get them some practice and hopefully some free wickets. Not sure who is doing net practice here. India or Oman 🤦‍♂️
 
India made 188 with some juggled batting and some unlucky runouts.

What makes you think if those were not fixed, they wouldn't be able to do 240?
He is a clueless guy lol Ireland scored 225 even in 2013 at Abu dhabi. Let me give you a stat that will explain why he thinks scoring 240 is tough. He i just this filter "these parts" to safeguard himself. Fact is Among the 51 times teams have crossed 240 runs all over the world pakistan was not one of them So he has not seen his score 240 ever in his life. So he thinks everyone else will struggle. Even Denmark has scored 240 lol
 
Tilak Varma doesn't even bowl much in IPL why is he bowling here?
Abhishek and Tilak were batting allrounders from a young age. Abhishek was touted to be allrounder in Jadeja-Axar mould originally before he became more of a batting allrounder. So are Riyan and Jaiswal. In IPL they don’t need to bowl much due to impact rule except maybe Abhishek or Riyan who are marginally better bowlers. I don’t think Jaiswal has bowled after junior cricket.
