**India to Face Oman in Final Group Stage Match After Securing Super-4 Spot**

**Abu Dhabi:** After dominant victories against UAE and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Indian cricket team is set to clash with Oman in their final group stage match of the Asia Cup T20. The match will be held on Friday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Having already secured a place in the Super-4 stage with two consecutive wins, India will likely use this opportunity to test their bench strength and prepare for their upcoming Super-4 clash, potentially against Pakistan on Sunday. In contrast, Oman’s journey in the tournament has ended following two defeats.

The Indian team, which has been based in Dubai and practicing at the ICC Cricket Academy, will travel to Abu Dhabi for the match and return afterward. The team management is keen to assess the conditions at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. While the team did not feel a need to practice in Abu Dhabi before the match due to the level of the opposition, the knowledge of the pitch conditions is vital.

**Pitch Report: Sheikh Zayed Stadium**

The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium is known to be relatively slow and generally conducive to batting. While bowlers may find some assistance early on, batsmen can expect to play their shots freely as the game progresses. Fast bowlers may not find significant assistance, but the fast outfield could lead to more boundaries. India has played one T20I at this venue, defeating Afghanistan in 2021. This will be the first T20I match between India and Oman.
