India defeated Oman by 21 runs in the Asia Cup; Arshdeep Singh became the first Indian pacer to reach 100 T20I wickets. A big Super 4 clash vs Pakistan looms large.
A hard-fuity win
India set a target of 189 for Oman. Sanju Samson anchored the innings with a solid half-century (56), while Exer Patel (13 runs 13) and Abhishek Sharma (15 runs 15) added late Quickfire Impetus to the late innings. Tilak Verma also scored 29 runs in a batting order, in which India mixed and corresponded well.
The Times of India
Oman fought enthusiastically. Jatinder Singh, Aamir Kalim, and Hammad Mirza played with all grit. Kalem stood exclusively – senior but in passion youth – scoring 64 runs in 46 balls and entertaining the crowd when it seemed that India could be a steamer.

Nevertheless, in the end, India was shown in depth. Smart bowling changes and cooling into the crunch overs sealed the victory. Oman managed 167/4, but India’s bowlers organized their nerves when they mattered.

Milestone moment: Arshadeep’s success
Amidst the collective effort, an achievement especially brightened: Arshdeep Singh became the first Indian pace bowler to reach the 100 T20I wickets. He took a wicket in this match and also crossed that landmark. This is a moment of personal glory, yes, but also a sign of how far it is as a reliable member of India’s limited-overs attack.
The Times of India
Nobody receives these numbers without perseverance. For Arshdeep, this record combines his growing reputation to be a bowler who handles the pressure well, especially in the sharp-teej air swing of T20. His work in the nets, extra hours, and self-confidence all reflect in such moments. India needed a contribution to the board against Oman; He gave one that will stand on its own.

Now eyes on Super 4: India vs Pakistan
The match was not about circling from the group stage with just one win. It was also a final dress rehearsal. In the group, undefeated, India goes into a super 4 stage with motion – and possibly fatigue, questions, veins. Conflict with Pakistan set in Dubai, big loans.

India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav has often spoken about the focus, closing distractions, and considering each match as a final. The team knows what Pakistan means in Asia Cup cricket – history, intensity, high emotions. For both players and fans, this is just more than another stability.

What does it say about the team?
This victory and milestones show some important things about India:
The strength of the bench is real. There is a difference between players like Samson, Exer, Abhishek, and Tilak.
Composer is improving under pressure. All have been tested by chasing important moments, defending death, and adapting to the flow of sports.
Milestones do not matter – not only statistics, but what they do for morale and faith. Arshadeep’s 100 wickets will inspire the rest.
As the Asia Cup moves forward, these building blocks matter. In the tournament, it is rarely your star player; This is often a support cast, those moments that people forget until they count, decide who raises the trophy.
final thoughts
India left the group undefeated. But ba ig exam is awaited. Against Pakistan, there is no over-over. Emotions will be more. Even more bets.
If India brings discipline, focus, and patience shown against Oman, they will not only be the favorite – they will be ready to make history.
