India will take on Oman in their last group-stage match on Friday, September 19, at the Abu Dhabi stadium in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 tournament. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side has already sealed the Super 4 spot owing to convincing wins against the UAE and Pakistan. The game against Oman will give India a much-needed chance to test its strong bench strength.
A lot of players like Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, and Hardik Pandya have not gotten a chance to bat long enough owing to sheer dominance by the top-order batters. Also, in the bowling, India can try out young pacers Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. While it is still not officially confirmed whether India would rest pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, there are speculations galore that he would be rested for today's clash.
