Predicting OMA’s Playing XI for the 7th Match against UAE in T20 Asia Cup 2025, Group A

Cricket fans are in for another treat in the T20 Asia Cup 2025 as Oman face the UAE in the seventh match. Oman has not had the greatest start to the tournament, culminating in a 93-run defeat in the last match against Pakistan in Dubai. However, some performing players in the lineup could switch things, and this might be the match for Oman to turn things around and progress further in the tournament. The UAE has a balanced team, so Oman needs to bring the right mix of the best batters, all-rounders, and bowlers onto the field at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi to stay competitive!

Openers

Aamir Kaleem will probably be amongst Oman’s openers. He managed to hit a brisk 13 from 11 balls against Pakistan, which to me was a positive sign, no matter the score, and he is capable of a quick start, so it would be great for Oman if Aamir can get a partner going with him at the top. Captain Jatinder Singh can be this partner at the top of the order. Despite scoring only 1 run against Pakistan, he is very experienced and a good leader, therefore ideal for getting the innings going early.

Middle Order

As of late, Oman’s best middle-order batter has been Hammad Mirza, as he scored 27 from 23 balls against Pakistan. What we saw from Mirza was his ability to also rotate the strike as well as react under pressure, which is key after losing two wickets for very little runs and also building a partnership to consolidate an innings. Mohammad Nadeem was also a calming influence and has heaps of experience in the middle order too; he only scored 3 runs in the last match, but can help the team stabilise after the collapse and not let Oman disintegrate under pressure, whilst steadily increasing the scoring rate.

All-Rounders

Aamir Kaleem is undoubtedly Oman’s most valuable all-rounder. He not only opened up the batting in a decent fashion with 13 from 11 balls, but he also starred with the ball, taking 3 key wickets that disrupted Pakistan’s momentum. He can score runs quickly and also take wickets and break partnerships; he’s a key part of Oman’s team structure.

Mohammad Nadeem is a valuable all-rounder too; although he scored only 3 runs in the previous game, he helped the team by getting Faheem Ashraf out during a key moment in the game with the ball.

Bowlers

Aamir Kaleem is also a key bowler for Oman, who has proved he can break partnerships at vital junctures when he took 3 key wickets against Pakistan. Shah Faisal is also a key strike bowler, who took 3 wickets and can pose problems for UAE batters with his variations. Both bowlers will be able to create pressure from both ends and not allow the UAE batters to get any partnership momentum. Knowing both bowlers’ lengths and variations could determine the outcome of the game.

If Oman can achieve these performances, it could build on their loss and perform well. Fans should look forward to what should be an entertaining match where aggressive batting and picking up important wickets will be key to success.
