Team India is set to face the Associate team Oman in their final group stage match of the Asia Cup 2025 this Friday in Abu Dhabi. Having already secured a spot in the Super 4s, the men in blue aim to finish the first round undefeated.
Friday’s game will mark India’s 250th T20 International. With 249 matches played so far, India ranks second in the list of teams with the most T20Is, just behind Pakistan, who lead with 275 matches. This milestone will make India only the second team in the world to reach 250 or more T20I games.

In what is expected to be a one-sided clash, India may rest some senior players and bring in the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Jithesh Sharma, and a few others. If India wins the toss, they are likely to bat first, having chased in their previous game, which resulted in a low score. This match against Oman offers a chance to test both their batting and bench strength ahead of the Super 4s.

On the other hand, Oman faces a tough challenge. Their batting has struggled so far, scoring just 67 and 130 runs against Pakistan and the UAE. No player has scored more than 30 runs, with Hammad Mirza’s 27 being the highest. Facing India’s strong spin and pace attack will be a significant test for the team..
