Oman Playing 11 vs Pakistan- Asia Cup 2025, Match 4:
Openers: Jatinder Singh (c), Vinayak Shukla (wk)
Oman will look to put on a spirited performance when they step on the field to take on Pakistan in their first match of the Asia Cup 2025.
Oman, under the leadership of Jatinder Singh, who is expected to open the innings, will bank on their captain. to come good against a strong Pakistani bowling lineup, who are coming on the back of a big win over Afghanistan.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Other than the batters, the team management and captain would want the bowlers to put their hand up to restrict Pakistan to a below-par total while bowling first.
If they end up bowling second, then the bowler’s job would be to pick wickets at regular intervals to not let the Pakistani batters chase whatever target is set for them to chase.
Oman will open the innings with captain Jatinder Singh and wicketkeeper Vinayak Shukla, both of whom will look to get the team off to a solid start
Both batters will also look to get some under their belt individually in their very first match of the eight-team tournament.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Ashish Odedara, Aamir Kaleem, Karan Sonavale, Hassnain Shah, Hammad Mirza, Mohammad Nadeem
The openers would hope for the middle order batters to capitalize on the platform they lay for them to put pressure on the Pakistani bowlers.
The onus will be on the likes of Ashish Odedara, Aamir Kaleem, Karan Sonavale, and Hassnain Shah to make sure that the Pakistani spinners don’t dictate terms in the middle overs.
The bulk of the runs have to be scored by the top five batters despite the team having a batter order that bats till number eight.
If they can perform to the best of its ability with the bat, then it will increase the chances of them beating Pakistan.
Bowlers: Sufyan Mehmood, Aryan Bisht, Samay Shrivastava
As far as Oman’s bowling department is concerned, the Jatinder Singh-led side is expected to go in with two spinners and a couple of fast bowlers.
Like always, spinners will play a major role in deciding their fate in the match with respect to how they bowl to the likes of Fakhar Zaman, Salman Ali Agha, and Hasan Nawaz in the middle overs of Pakistan’s batting innings.
If the spinners can stem the flow of runs that Pakistan scores in the middle overs, along with picking up wickets, they will accomplish the goal of restricting Pakistan to a manageable total.
The team’s fast bowlers will also have to play their part in bowling innings by picking wickets with the new ball in the first six overs, as they will be up against an opening pair that is not in the best of form.
