Pakistan began their Asia Cup 2025 journey with a powerful win over Oman. The team sealed victory by 93 runs in Dubai, giving them early confidence in the tournament.
Strong Start with the Bat
Batting first, Pakistan set a total of 160 for 7 in 20 overs. Mohammad Haris played the starring role with a brilliant 66 off 43 balls. His knock included seven boundaries and three sixes. Sahibzada Farhan added a useful 29 runs, helping Pakistan post a competitive score.
Oman’s bowlers tried to fight back. Aamir Kaleem and Shah Faisal each took three wickets, slowing down Pakistan’s momentum in the final overs.
Oman Struggle in the Chase
Chasing 161, Oman’s batting line-up collapsed under pressure. They were bowled out for just 67 runs in 16.4 overs. None of their batters could settle at the crease, as Pakistan’s bowlers dominated with pace and spin.
Three different bowlers picked up two wickets each, showing a complete team effort. The early breakthroughs left Oman with no chance of recovery.
Big Win for Pakistan
The result gave Pakistan a perfect start in Group A. The team now heads into their next match against India with high morale. The win also highlighted Pakistan’s depth in both batting and bowling, which will be crucial in tougher games ahead.
For Oman, the loss showed weaknesses in their batting. Their bowlers displayed some resistance but could not stop Pakistan’s aggressive approach.
This win not only boosts Pakistan’s chances in the Asia Cup but also sends a clear warning to rivals about their strength.
