On the other hand, Japan's campaign in the Asia and EAP Qualifier has been highly praised. Although they will end up in fourth place on the table, they won't qualify for the T20 World Cup, but their performances are full of promise.

Men’s T20 World Cup Asia-EAP Regional Final 2025: Schedule

Captain of Oman, Jatinder Singh, expressed his thanks after India’s star batter, Suryakumar Yadav, connected with the Oman team to provide encouragement and insight. Describing the interaction, Jatinder stated how much it meant to the players, who admired what Suryakumar has achieved but also valued the practical knowledge he could provide about modern T20 cricket. According to him, Suryakumar emphasized not just the technical aspects but also the mindset required to be successful in the shortest format of the game. The young Omani cricketers were engaged and asked questions. They left the interaction with a much clearer understanding of how professionals benefit from facing challenges and learning from them at the international cricket level.

Jatinder noted Suryakumar made it easygoing, but there were lots of good ideas in the conversation. He spoke about reading the game, reading the situation, and maintaining calm under pressure. He also reminded the players that T20 cricket encourages players to use their creative thinking and is not just about taking your power-hitting to the extreme. The Omani squad, made up of both fledgling and seasoned cricketers, found the viewpoint refreshing and encouraging. For a developing cricket country like Oman, this exposure to a global star is inspirational as well as very practical. Jatinder mentioned that many players took to the same message and felt much more confident walking away, with excitement to try and put it into practice in the next matches.

The meeting also highlighted Suryakumar Yadav's humbleness and inclination to share experience beyond his national team. He is said to have commended Oman’s fighting spirit, as well as their recent efforts on the international stage. According to Jatinder, the gestures of encouragement lifted his team’s spirits by reinforcing that their hard work was recognized by world-class cricketers, adding that it was a unique opportunity to learn that could have a lasting influence on Oman’s cricketing society. For the captain, it was infinitely more than a question-and-answer session but rather a reminder of the global brotherhood in cricket to help emerging teams strive to rise to new heights.

Oman Captain Jatinder Singh said - "I am so thankful that Suryakumar Yadav came and had a chat with the boys. He was just talking about the game, the faces, and how you have to play the T20s. Thd boys were just asking questions, having their Q & A with him, so that they have… pic.twitter.com/58B7K9Zl84

Inspiration Beyond the Game

Apart from the aesthetic tips, Suryakumar’s positive energy and genuine demeanor also left a lasting impact. The players admired not only his batting performance but also the discipline, fitness, and mental discipline that are required to stay as consistent as possible at the highest level. Jatinder mentions several budding players in the team, saying they felt compelled to work harder in preparation to improve, both on and off the field. They were invigorated by hearing Suryakumar’s journey of overcoming challenges prior to becoming one of India’s most patriotic T20 cricket performers.

Jatinder Singh determined that such experiences foster confidence for the future and inspire Oman’s cricketers to dare to dream bigger and want to achieve bigger on the world stage. Furthermore, he added that engaging with international stars provides a sense of belonging, which makes Oman feel part of the greater cricketing family. The captain hopes with bolstered belief and guidance, his team can keep developing and eventually leave a stronger mark on the world stage of cricket.

India triumphed over Oman by 21 runs in Abu Dhabi to end the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025 with a win. Though the result was much anticipated, Oman’s fearless spirit against a full-member side earned them widespread admiration.

India batted first, scoring 188 for 8. Abhishek Sharma got the innings underway with a rapid 38 off 15 balls, with five fours and two sixes. The innings progressed to the middle overs with Sanju Samson battling out a measured 56 off 45 balls as well as valuable contributions from Axar Patel (26 off 13) and Tilak Varma (29 off 18). Harshit Rana’s unbeaten 13 ensured India crossed the 180-run mark, even as Oman’s bowlers kept striking back. Shah Faisal (2/23), Jiten Ramanandi (2/33), and Aamir Kaleem (2/31) bowled with discipline to keep India in check.

Chasing 189, Oman showed great intent right from the powerplay. Skipper Jatinder Singh (32) and Aamir Kaleem (64 off 46) added 56 for the first wicket. Kaleem then partnered with Hammad Mirza (51 off 33) for a superb 93-run stand that kept the chase alive. Both batsmen, however, fell quickly towards the death overs and left Oman behind at 167 for 4. Their fighting effort was their second-highest total against a full-member team. For India, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, and Hardik Pandya each got a wicket.

IND vs OMA: Who Said What?

Sanju Samson (Player of the Match): 

“It was humid and hot out there. Working on my fitness on the last few weeks. We just got a new trainer and did the Bronco test. Good to see I got to spend some time in the middle. They bowled really well. Have to give credit to Oman. Bowled well in the powerplay also, were swinging it upfront. I keep backing my strength to stay positive. Any contribution with the bat for your country, you have to take the positives.”

Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain):

“Definitely I'll try from next game. Overall impressive, I feel, Oman played unbelievable brand of cricket. I knew with their coach, Sulu sir (Sulakshan Kulkarni), there will be khadoosness. It was amazing, really enjoyed watching them bat. It's a little difficult when you're sitting and suddenly you come out and play (talking about Arshdeep and Harshit). It's so humid here. Unfortunate how he got out but you can't keep him away from the game (talking about Hardik Pandya), the way he bowled and the way he got out. All set for Super Fours (when asked about the Sunday clash).”

Jatinder Singh (Oman Captain):

“Extremely proud of the unit, the way they came up and executed the plans. Very proud of how they showed their character in crunch situations. The hype of the tournament was somewhere in the mind. As I've mentioned before, we lack experience and exposure. We have the World Cup Qualifiers in Oman, the boys are ready. I was telling him, that has become your favourite dismissal (talking of Jiten Ramanandi and his run-outs). He is a utility player and a team man. We are grouped with PNG and Samoa. Boys are ready and looking forward to the tournament.”
