Match Overview

Batting first, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson provided stability to India’s innings. Samson top-scored with 56 off 39 balls, while Abhishek Sharma contributed a quick 38. Oman’s bowlers, led by Aamir Kaleem, put pressure on India but were unable to stop the scoring.

In reply, Oman’s partnership between Aamir Kaleem (64 off 46 balls) and Hammad Mirza (51 off 33 balls) brought them close to the target. Kaleem, at 43 years old, became the oldest player to score a fifty against India in any format, breaking a 79-year record. However, India’s bowlers, including Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya, restricted Oman to 167/4, sealing the 21-run win.
