T20 Asia Cup: A gritty half-century from Sanju Samson (56 off 45) and a historic milestone for Arshdeep Singh, who became the first Indian men’s cricketer to claim 100 T20I wickets, headlined India’s 21-run victory over Oman at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Thursday night, keeping their unbeaten run intact in the Men's T20 Asia Cup 2025.

After posting 188/8 — their third-highest total against an Associate nation in T20Is — India faced a stiff challenge as Oman fought hard with the bat. Skipper Jatinder Singh (32 off 33) and Aamir Kaleem gave them a solid start, adding 44 runs in the Power-play and taking the score to 56 before Kuldeep Yadav broke the stand in the ninth over.

Kaleem then stitched together a 93-run stand with Hammad Mirza, frustrating the Indian attack. Kaleem brought up his fifty off 38 balls and eventually fell for 64 off 46 in the 18th over while trying to accelerate the scoring.
