Among oman

United Arab Emirates: India became the first team to confirm their place in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2025 from group A after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) secured their maiden win of the tournament, defeating Oman by 42 runs in Abu Dhabi on Monday.

The result not only kept UAE in contention for the next round but also officially eliminated Oman, who slumped to their second successive defeat.

Suryakumar Yadav’s men, who began their campaign with a clinical win over UAE before thrashing Pakistan by seven wickets on Sunday, were virtually assured of progression. But UAE’s triumph ensured India advanced with two wins from two matches in Group A. The remaining slot will now be decided in a virtual knockout between Pakistan and UAE on Wednesday.
