New Delhi: Though India won their last league clash of the Asia Cup on Friday by 21 runs but a spirited Oman team gave the Indian bowlers a run for their money in Abu Dhabi. After piling up a big total of 188/8 in the first innings, the Men in Blue were tested to the core as the bowling unit together could only snap four of Oman’s wickets in the stipulated 20 overs, that too at the later stages.

The associate nation ended up losing all their three league games in the continental tournament but they won a million hearts with their sensational all-round performance that even took the T20 World Champions by surprise. Though India put up a big total on board batting first but Oman bowlers managed to pick eight of their wickets also restricting the free flow of runs to under 200, which at a stage looked easily achievable and to double it, lost by it by a very small margin.

As expected, India got an opportunity to test many of their batters who didn’t get much time on the crease........
