As the Asia Cup 2025 reaches its final stages, India and Oman face off in a match that holds very different stakes for both teams.
India heads into this dead rubber with the opportunity to test out their bench strength, while Oman looks to make the most of this final encounter with a Full Member team before the T20 World Cup Asia & East-Asia-Pacific Regional Qualifier next month.
For India, this match offers a chance to get some of their bowlers more match time, particularly as they look ahead to the Super Four stage.
With four squad members yet to play a match and some key middle and lower-order batters still without a chance to face a ball, this match provides a much-needed opportunity to fine-tune their game before the much-anticipated game against Pakistan on Sunday September 21.
For Oman, this match against India is more than just a warm-up; it is their last fixture against a Full Member team before they host the T20 World Cup Asia & East-Asia-Pacific Regional Qualifier next month.
Last Five T20Is:
India enters the match in solid form, having won four of their last five T20Is, with just one recent loss.
In contrast, Oman is struggling, coming off five consecutive defeats.
Pitch and conditions
Recent history indicates that pitches in Abu Dhabi are generally less favorable to spinners compared to those in Dubai.
Since the start of 2023, spinners in Dubai have averaged below 20 and maintained an economy rate of under 6.5 per over in T20Is.
In contrast, spinners in Abu Dhabi have struggled, averaging over 38 and conceding more than 7.5 runs per over.
