Top Performers
- Sanju Samson — 56 off 45 balls. Took some time, but played a key role in building the total.
- Abhishek Sharma — Blazing 38 off just 15 balls in powerplay; gave India that quick start.
- Tilak Varma — 29 off 18 balls before falling. Added momentum near the death overs
Missed & Key Moments
- India lost early wicket of Shubman Gill for 5 off 8.
- Hardik Pandya was run out in a freak accident (non-striker’s end) when a shot from Samson deflected and hit the stumps. Only 1 run.
- Lower order kept India from collapsing by contributing some hitting, especially Tilak Varma and the finish by Rana.
What Oman Must Do (Chase of 189)
- Oman need 189 runs off 20 overs → required rate of ~ 9.45 RPO.
- They must start well, avoid early loss of wickets. Jatinder Singh and Aamir Kaleem open — strong partnership crucial.
- Mid-overs will be a test: India’s spinners might come into play. Oman need to rotate strike and hit boundaries when possible.
- Death overs (last 5 overs) will decide — if Oman get there with wickets in hand, they could pull it off.
Final Take & Outlook
India’s innings ended at 188/8. Good total, not massive, but above par especially given wicket losses and pressure moments.
If Oman bat smartly, they have a chance. But India will be confident — their batsmen gave them enough runs, and their bowling has depth.
This match sets up nicely: whether Oman can handle the chase, or India’s bowlers can choke them under pressure.
