India vs Oman, Asia Cup 2025: Pitch Report, Playing XI, Live Streaming and Key Details

India will face Oman in Match 12 of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Friday, September 19, 2025. This is the final Group A fixture for both teams. The Men in Blue, led by Suryakumar Yadav, have already booked their spot in the Super Four after convincing wins against the UAE and Pakistan. Oman, on the other hand, will look to put up a fight after struggling in their previous outings.

With qualification already secured, this clash provides India a chance to rotate players and test their bench strength ahead of the more challenging Super Four matches.

India’s Possible Changes in Playing XI

India have used the same XI in their last two matches, but this fixture presents an opportunity to rest senior players and give game time to those yet to feature.

• Arshdeep Singh is expected to replace Jasprit Bumrah, who may be rested to manage workload. Arshdeep, with 99 wickets in T20Is, is India’s most successful T20I bowler in recent years.

• Rinku Singh, known for his explosive lower-order batting, could finally get a game in place of Shivam Dube.

• Jitesh Sharma, the aggressive wicketkeeper-batter, remains another option, though his inclusion depends on whether India want to experiment further.

• Harshit Rana, the young pacer, is in the squad but might have to wait longer for his chance.

India Probable XI:

Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Rinku Singh.

Oman’s Challenge

Led by Jatinder Singh, Oman has faced difficulties with the bat, managing only 67 and 130 in their two games so far. Against a strong Indian side, their experienced players like Aamir Kaleem, Hammad Mirza, and Mohammad Nadeem will need to step up to put up a competitive total.
