On Friday, September 19, India and Oman played a meaningless Asia Cup 2025 Group A game in Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, the score of India reached a respectable 188/8, having won the toss and made the first move.
Hardik Pandya was moved up to No. 4 in the batting order during the first innings. But in the eighth over, the star all-rounder was run out at the non-striker’s end after only facing one delivery. Sanju Samson blasted a clean drive back at left-arm bowler Jiten Ramanandi as Hardik Pandya was backing up a little too far. He caught the Baroda cricketer short of his crease after parrying the ball towards the stumps, but Ramanandi was unable to seize a difficult opportunity.
The same dismissal occurred in the penultimate over, which was also bowled by Ramanandi. Harshit Rana hammered the delivery back at the bowler this time. At the non-striker’s end, Ramanandi deflected the ball in the direction of the stumps. This time, Arshdeep Singh was the victim of bad luck. There was no chance for the Punjab speedster to get back into the crease.
