Oman fell short against the hosts, the United Arab Emirates, in the 7th game of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. But one of the highlights of the match was produced by Oman. Their skipper and opener, Jatinder Singh, smashed back-to-back three boundaries while chasing a competitive target.
Oman and UAE met with each other on September 15 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium; it was a prestige fight for both of the teams. UAE had the advantage as they were playing on their home turf, and their experience against some of the big names of international cricket is slightly better than their opposition.
Talking about the match, Oman won the toss and decided to bat in the second over of the contest. Though, their plan to restrict the home team to a low total did not take too long to prove wrong. Alishan Sharafu and Captain Muhammad Waseem, the opening pair of the UAE cricket team, built a solid foundation for a competitive total. They were able to hold their initial momentum and converted it for a handsome total at the end of the first inning. Most of the Oman bowlers proved expensive despite snatching 5 wickets. The UAE registered 172 runs in the first innings; Sharafu and Waseem scored 51 and 69 runs, respectively.
Oman skipper hit a series of 4s
The UAE bowling department performed well enough to secure their total by a good margin. Oman bundled for 130 runs in 18.4 overs. Junaid Siddique claimed 4 wickets for the United Arab Emirates and proved to be the most successful bowler of the match.
Jatinder Singh hit a hat-trick of 4s in the second against a UAE pacer. All three boundaries were on the off side and looked mostly similar in style as well. Singh, using his front foot, started to hit a series of fours in an unconvincing manner, as the commentator said, "Checked Drive." The entertaining innings quickly came to an end; Singh departed for 20 off 10. UAE won the match by 42 runs.
