The 12th match of the India vs. Oman Asia Cup 2025 was played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Batting first, India set a target of 189 runs for Oman. Chasing this target, the opposition scored 167 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. Oman's batsmen made the Indian bowlers struggle for wickets. Oman lost their first wicket at 56, and the second at 149. During this period, the Oman team set five amazing records.
