India became the first team from Group A to book their place in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2025 after results elsewhere fell in their favour. While India had already notched up two convincing victories against UAE and Pakistan, their qualification was officially sealed following UAE’s dramatic triumph over Oman.
The outcome has changed the complexion of Group A, leaving Oman knocked out of the tournament and opening up a battle between UAE and Pakistan for the remaining slot. For India, the equation is now simple, they can use their final group game against Oman to fine-tune strategies before entering the tougher Super 4 stage.
UAE pull off a major upset against Oman
The UAE produced one of their best performances in recent times, defeating Oman with both bat and ball. Their innings was powered by captain Muhammad Waseem, who played a steady hand at the top, while Alishan Sharafu provided the acceleration in the middle overs. Together, they ensured UAE posted a fighting total that put Oman under pressure from the start.
In reply, Oman faltered against disciplined bowling. Wickets fell regularly, and their chase never truly gained momentum. The result not only eliminated them from the tournament but also gave UAE a lifeline to dream of progressing further.
What lies ahead in Group A?
With India already through, the spotlight now shifts to the upcoming Pakistan vs UAE clash. A win for Pakistan will see them move forward, but a loss could dramatically tilt the balance in UAE’s favour. This makes the fixture a virtual knockout.
For India, consistency has been their biggest strength. Suryakumar Yadav’s form, coupled with solid contributions from the bowling unit, has kept them dominant in the group. Going into the Super Four, their focus will be on maintaining rhythm against stronger opponents. As things stand, Asia Cup 2025 has already delivered its share of drama, and the UAE’s upset over Oman has ensured the group stage ends with high stakes and rising tension.
