Asia Cup: Samson’s 56 Anchors India To Third-highest T20I Total Vs Associate Nations
Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: A gritty half-century by Sanju Samson (56 off 45) guided India to 188/8 in their 20 overs, their third-highest innings total against an Associate nation in T20Is, in their last league match of the Men's T20 Asia Cup before a packed Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium crowd on Thursday night.
The innings closed in style with a towering maximum from Harshit Rana, but credit was due to Oman’s bowlers for holding their nerve and preventing India from breaching the 200-mark. India’s only bigger totals against Associates remain 202 for 4 versus Nepal in Hangzhou 2023 and 192 for 2 against Hong Kong in Dubai 2022.
Earlier in the evening, skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to bat first, but the start was far from ideal as vice-captain Shubman Gill was cleaned up by Faisal Shah for just five in the second over.
