Pakistan vs Oman Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: Pakistan win by 93 runs, humiliate Oman ahead of India clash

Faheem Ashraf to Zikriya Islam, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Zikriya Islam has reviewed it immediately, though! Faheem Ashraf bowls a heavy ball, full and just around off stump. Islam hangs deep and gets side on, trying to nail it over mid-wicket but seems to have got an inside edge through to the keeper. Mohammad Haris takes an easy catch and up goes the finger. The third umpire is called in but replays do confirm that there was an inside edge and Islam has to walk for a duck. Oman are now 50/7!

DRINKS! Well, then Pakistan have shown their might with the ball as expected. But unlike in the past, where the pacers have been their strength, this evening, it has been a quartet of spinners who have wreaked havoc. Sufiyan Muqeem has been the pick of the bunch but all 4 of them have bowled well and Oman's promising showing in the first innings has started to fade away. They need some sort of a partnership and try and muster up a few runs, give the opposition bowlers something to think about.
