India lost 8 wickets against Oman, Sanju Samson scored a half-century, and Abhishek Sharma again created a stir

The final match of the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025 is being played. Batting first, India scored 188 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Oman needs to score 189 runs to win the match. Sanju Samson scored a half-century for India, while Abhishek Sharma once again made a quick start but was dismissed for 38.

Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bat first. Abhishek Sharma once again gave the team a strong start, while Shubman Gill, on the other hand, failed in the second match as well, getting out for 5 runs after playing 8 balls. After this, the batting order was changed, and wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson was sent in at one down. Wickets continued to fall at the other end. Hardik Pandya was unlucky, being run out for 1 run.

However, Sanju Samson held one end together and completed his half-century. Before that, Axar Patel was dismissed for 26 runs off 13 balls, and Shivam Dubey for 5 runs off 8 balls. In the 18th over, Sanju Samson was dismissed for 56 runs off 45 balls, including 3 sixes and 3 fours. In the 19th over, Tilak Verma was dismissed for 26 runs off 18 balls, including 3 fours and 1 six. After 20 overs, India had scored 189 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

Sanju Samson did score a half-century, but his slow innings drew questions. Such a slow innings against a team like Oman raises questions about Sanju's batting. For Oman, Shah Faisal troubled the Indian batsmen the most, taking 2 wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs. Jiten Ramnandi and Aamir Kaleem also took 2 wickets each.
