Emerging Asia Cup 2024: India A registered a comfortable win over Oman in the last group-stage match of the ACC Men's T20 Emerging Asia Cup 2024. With this win, India A has reached the top of Group B with three wins in three matches. Now India will face Afghanistan in the semi-finals.
In the second semi-final on October 25, India A will face Afghanistan, who finished second in Group A. In the first semi-final, Sri Lanka, which topped Group A, will face Pakistan on October 24.
The Tilak Verma-led Indian team remains the only unbeaten team in the sixth edition of the tournament. Hosts Oman struggled a bit against a star-studded Indian team and their campaign in the group stage ended without a win. India, which has already secured a place in the semi-finals, has made three changes in its playing eleven. Anuj Rawat, Sai Kishore and Aaqib Khan have been included in the team.
Nadeem had to struggle,
Aaqib made an early impact by taking the wicket of Aamir Kaleem, but Oman made an impressive comeback. Wasim Ali scored a crucial 24, while in-form all-rounder Mohammad Nadeem scored 41 off 49 balls to take Oman to a strong score of 140 for 5. Oman scored 140 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs.
Abhishek Sharma gave a fast start
India's star opener Abhishek Sharma gave a great start to India, but Anuj Rawat could not take advantage of the opportunity and was out after scoring 8 runs in 11 balls. Abhishek scored 34 runs on just 15 balls and captain Tilak Verma remained unbeaten on 36 runs. Ayush Badoni proved to be the match winner and scored 51 runs in 27 balls with the help of six fours and two sixes.
India's eyes on the final
It is noteworthy that India has remained undefeated in this tournament so far. Current champion Pakistan had lost in the first match. After this, UAE and Oman were defeated in the last match. India's eyes will now be on winning the semi-finals and making it to the finals.
