India vs Oman: A Perfect Pre-Super 4s Tune-Up

In a bid to fine-tune their strategy before the crucial Super 4s stage of the Asia Cup, the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team is poised to face Oman in Abu Dhabi. Already securing a spot in the next round, Friday's match offers the Indians an opportunity to experiment with their lineup while keeping an eye on fitness and form before Sunday's rematch against Pakistan.

Despite their earlier low-scoring matches, India's batsmen, including Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Tilak Varma, are expected to make the most of the 20 overs. The middle-order lineup will also seek substantial time at the crease to prepare for the demanding schedule ahead.

With Oman's struggling batting form, particularly their inability to pass 30 in individual scores, India's formidable bowling attack could wrap up the game early. Meanwhile, head coach Gautam Gambhir may rest key players, like Jasprit Bumrah, to maintain their vitality. The team will prioritize managing workloads, even adopting an 'in and out' travel policy to tackle the logistical challenge of the Abu Dhabi venue efficiently.
