India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Something of a move on. Abhishek Sharma on to bowl which is a good matchup for the lefty Kaleem. Deposits it into the stands.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma chipping in with a couple of overs here. Saving the strike bowlers for the back end of this innings.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: India in total control Oman have wickets in hand but need to score 127 in the last 10 overs.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: There's the wicket! Kuldeep with a little bit of a drag down in honesty, but it's not short enough for that pull shot. Catches the under edge and rockets into the stumps.

56/1.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Finger goes up as Axar hits Jatinder on the pads, attempting an elabortate switch hit! He goes up to DRS … and gets a reprieve. That always looked to be going down leg.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Oman won't be too unhappy with that, it's a decent scoring rate, but not one which will affect India too much.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Runs tough to come by at the moment for Oman, but at least the openers are getting set.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Oman finding the odd boundary, but remain behind the rate. India biding their time.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Good cricket to get going! Couple of boundaries early on. Runs will have to come quickish.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Welcome back! India likely have more than enough for their bowlers to defend. Arshdeep hunting number 100, but it's Hardik to get going.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Harshit Rana connects for six over cover on the last ball, which takes India to 188/8. A bit of a limp towards the finish line after a small collapse. Plenty to talk about as SKY lets everybody else, including the frontline bowlers, bat ahead of him!

Back soon for the chase.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Twice in the same game from the same bowler! Jiten gets down quickly enough again, once again only fingertips, once again the batter – this time Arshdeep – can't get back in time. How about that!

And shockingly, STILL no Suryakumar Yadav!

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Jiten has been really impressive through this tournament. When he gets met, he gets met, but when he doesn't he gets so many swings and misses and plenty of wickets. Tilak skies it and it's a good catch tumbling backwards.

And guess what: still no SKY.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Not quite the innings he would have wanted coming in at 3. Can't find the power on this flick, and it's an easy catch for deep square leg.

171/6 after 17.4 – and still no SKY! It's Harshit Rana.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: A few really strong shots through this innings but Samson hasn't quite achieved the rhythm he is capable of in this innings. A somewhat laborious effort, but he needs to explode in these final couple of overs.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Tilak Varma has the license to go after the bowling a bit here and he does so with emphasis. A big six over long-on, and then a reverse sweep squeezes past short third man.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Shivam Dube is usually so good at connecting with those but not this time! Has to reach for it and just slices it to long off, where Jatinder happily accepts the catch.

134/5 after 14 as Tilak comes in; the skipper will come in at 7.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Wow, Axar Patel was batting so well against the spinners! Two lovely fours in the last over, a big six to start this one, and it's a short and wide one which he gets a thin edge on! It's a really good catch by the wicketkeeper Vinayak standing up.

Good 26(13) from Axar but it's now 118/4.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Can't miss your length when this guy finds his feet! Dropped short, he can just rock back and slam it straight back over the bowler for a huge six.

Oman missing their lines and lengths too much, giving away bonus runs through wides to India. 100/3 at the halfway mark.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: So not a massive shock as India's lower order is promoted to get some time in the middle. Axar Patel enjoys batting in this phase, and starts off with a nice four right down the ground.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Oh, that's rotten luck! Hardik got a promotion to have some time in the middle, but what has happened is Samson driving one back at Jiten, who gets fingertips and deflects it onto the stumps. Hardik never found his ground again, and he doesn't wait for the 3rd umpire review as he starts walking off. Oman with a couple of sharp jolts!

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Abhishek has to go! He wafts at one outside his off-stump, and it catches the edge for an easy catch. Jiten has been crafty and very good, has deserved this wicket.

Hardik Pandya next man in. Gambhir looks unhappy, wanted Abhishek to go on and get a big one.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Getting into his work now. A typical clean hit right down the ground which he makes look effortless, then a lovely aerial shot off his back foot over extra cover which reaches the boundary after a slip in the outfield. 12 off that one.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Jiten with a phenomenal start to his over, but Abhishek ensures he ends the powerplay with a big six! Deceived by the slower ball, but his ability to connect and find distance is so good even when it is something of a mishit.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: That early wicket not impacting Abhishek at all. It's so difficult to contain him in the powerplay. Powers India close to a run rate of 10 despite that excellent Oman start.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Oh, he got bat on that! Down leg which Abhishek just gets a feather on, the wicketkeeper can't shuttle across to grab a tough chance. Gets a wide as well to punish Oman further.

Abhishek already has a move on. Two fours earlier on in this over, and two more fours later on. He's looking in dangerous touch!

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Boom! So much for struggling. Gets a half-volley on his pads, Faisal's first error of his spell, and that's all Samson needs. Can easily pick it up to deposit it deep over the boundary.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Sanju Samson looking a bit tetchy for the time being, not connecting with anything solidly, particularly against Faisal. He's 1 off 7, needs to get one away soon.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: This is a matchup he enjoys. Gets another on his legs from Shakeel, swings it away for four. Next ball is juicy and a half-volley, which he connects with to clear the boundary with ease.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: What a start this is for Oman. 6/1 after 2 overs. Really good bowling by Faisal.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: That's what you like to see from your left arm seamer! Starc-esque. Quick and get sit to bend back in to evade the bat, crashes into the stumps after sneaking past the inside edge. Glorious wicket, great bowling from Faisal who has been impressive this tournament.

Sanju Samson in at three with his first hit of the tournament.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Well bowled by Shakeel to keep Gill quiet. He times one sweetly through the covers, but not finding too much joy early.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Everyone knows Abhishek is going after it first ball, so the spinner Shakeel fires it in fast at his pads. Hits them, but it looks to be pitching outside leg — and it is, even after review. Poor one from Jatinder.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: The national anthems taking place, after which Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill will stride out to get things started.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: As expected by some, Bumrah gets a match off, allowing Arshdeep to come in. Harshit Rana gets a go on a pace-friendly pitch ahead of Varun Chakravarthy.

Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and chooses to bat, and earns a HUGE roar from the crowd! Getting to bat and spend time in the middle. India have two changes, one being Harshit Rana coming in and the second that SKY can't remember — “I've become like Rohit,” he jokes.

Jatinder Singh looks forward to the learning that Oman can take from this match.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Nearly time for SKY to head out to the middle alongside Jatinder Singh. India will value time in the middle the most, which might see them opt to bat first and put as many runs as they can on the board in Abu Dhabi. Batting second has been just a touch better at this venue this tournament, but India will back themselves to make that irrelevant with time in the middle.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA:

India Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shubman Gill (vc), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh

Oman Squad: Jatinder Singh (c), Aamir Kaleem, Hammad Mirza, Vinayak Shukla (wk), Wasim Ali, Hassnain Shah, Shah Faisal, Jiten Ramanandi, Aryan Bisht, Shakeel Ahmed, Samay Shrivastava, Mohammad Nadeem, Sufyan Mehmood, Karan Sonavale, Ashish Odedara, Mohammad Imran, Zikria Islam, Nadeem Khan, Sufyan Yousaf

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Arshdeep does hold a narrow lead, but he has Hardik Pandya with 95 scalps and Bumrah with 92 right on his back. Both the right-arm seamers can also sniff that three-digit mark, and a bit of friendly competition within the pace-bowling corps will spur each of them on to be at their best.

India vs Oman Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, IND vs OMA: Shubman Gill will certainly have a long leash, seeing as he is India's long term plan to lead across formats. He is not at risk of losing his spot at the top of the order, but he needs to find the opening chemistry alongside his close friend Abhishek Sharma. After a couple of strong IPL seasons, we know he has quality there – but can it translate internationally?
