Asia Cup 2025: India Secures Top Spot in Group A


India has won back-to-back matches in the ongoing ACC Men’s Asia Cup 2025. This means that they have now qualified for the Super Four, where the competition will get tougher. Oman, on the other hand, has been knocked out. They lost to UAE by a big margin of 42 runs, courtesy of some great batting by Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu.
Batting first, UAE put on a commanding total of 172 against Oman at Abu Dhabi. This was a must-win game for Oman, as they were earlier thumped by Pakistan by a big margin of 93 runs. Unfortunately, their plans didn’t work against a more organized UAE team. They played smartly, making sure to keep wickets in hand throughout their batting innings.
Once again, Muhammad Waseem was the star batter for the UAE. He assessed the conditions and changed gears during the game accordingly. His innings of 69 proved vital for the UAE, as other batters found the base provided by Waseem to launch in the end.
Coming out to chase the target, Oman had no answers. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals due to some tight bowling from the UAE bowlers. In the end, they fell short and lost the match by 42 runs. This confirmed their group stage elimination from the ACC Men’s Asia Cup 2025.
On the other hand, UAE got a lifeline by beating Oman comprehensively. Being the host of the tournament, the onus was on the UAE to stay in the qualification hunt. Their batters understood the scenario and came up with goods on Monday. This win will surely give UAE a much-needed confidence.
With this win, UAE is now tied with Pakistan on the points table. Their net run-rate is obviously lower than Pakistan, who are currently sitting at the second position. Pakistan faced a comprehensive defeat against India on Sunday. They looked completely out of form in the Dubai clash, as none of their batting or bowling resources worked decisively against the rampant Indian team.
The green shirts are, however, still optimistic that they can turn the tide against India in the next matches, provided they qualify to the Super Four stage. Pakistan will now lock horns with the UAE in a must-win game on Wednesday. Both teams will be looking to win this match, as doing that will secure a confirmed spot for them in the Super Four stage.
