India wrapped up their group stage campaign at the Asia Cup 2025 in dominant fashion, beating Oman by 21 runs in their final group match on Thursday. With this win, India not only sealed the top spot in their group but also maintained an unbeaten record heading into the Super Four stage.

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, skipper Suryakumar Yadav backed his side’s batting strength—and the decision proved right. Despite losing a couple of early wickets, India managed to post a strong 188/8 in 20 overs.

Sanju Samson led the charge with a fluent 56, displaying class with his timing and placement, while Abhishek Sharma’s brisk 38 gave the innings early momentum. Handy lower-order cameos ensured India crossed the 180 mark, though Oman’s bowlers kept things tight in the final overs.

Chasing 189, Oman fought hard but India’s bowling attack held firm. Consistent breakthroughs ensured the associate side never quite got ahead of the required rate, eventually finishing 21 runs short.

The victory means India advance to the Super Four with maximum points, showcasing both batting depth and bowling sharpness—two big positives as they gear up for sterner tests against top Asian rivals.
