India A is ready to rebound in the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 as they prepare to face Oman on Tuesday. After an 8-wicket defeat against Pakistan, the team is determined to secure their second win following an earlier victory against the UAE. This upcoming match is pivotal for India A, aiming to establish their presence in Group B.

The campaign began positively for India A with a dominant win over UAE, but the loss to Pakistan revealed critical areas needing improvement, particularly in maintaining batting consistency and bowling discipline. Captain Jitesh Sharma and his squad are eager to correct past mistakes and reclaim their winning momentum against Oman.

Conversely, Oman has had a mixed bag in this tournament. They faced a setback against Pakistan but managed to achieve a thrilling 2-wicket victory over UAE in their last outing. Currently, with one win and one defeat, Oman is keen to build on that success and pose a significant challenge to India A.

The match is set to take place at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on November 16, kicking off at 8:00 PM IST. Fans can catch all the action live on Sony LIV or on Sony Sports Ten 1 SD & HD.

India A is expected to present a formidable lineup which includes Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nehal Wadhera, Naman Dhir, Jitesh Sharma (w/c), Ramandeep Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur, Gurjapneet Singh, and Suyash Sharma, blending seasoned players with promising talent equipped to handle pressure.

Oman's squad will be led by captain Hammad Mirza, with wicketkeeper Sufyan Yousaf and star players like Karan Sonavale, Wasim Ali, Narayan Saishiv, Aryan Bisht, Zikria Islam, Muzahir Raza, Shafiq Jan, Samay Shrivastava, and Sufyan Mehmood. Their strategy relies on combining experienced names with rising stars to take on India A.

Both teams are intent on boosting their net run rate and points in the group, crucial for progressing further in the tournament. India A aims to focus on forming partnerships, effectively rotating the strike, and keeping tight bowling pressure, while Oman hopes to limit the Indian batting prowess and exploit any mistakes to qualify for a surprise victory.

The Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 offers a fantastic opportunity for emerging players to shine on an international platform. For India A, a victory against Oman will not only uplift their confidence but also set a positive tone for the upcoming matches as they strive to top the group. Fans can look forward to an engaging and competitive showdown as both teams vie for advancement in the tournament.
