Oman vs United Arab Emirates, ICC Mens T20 WC East Asia Pacific Qualifier 2025, Today Match Prediction 13 October 2025

OMA vs UAE Match Prediction & Analysis

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia & EAP Qualifier Super Six stage is underway, and the fourth match sees Oman face United Arab Emirates in Al Amerat. Oman breezed through the group phase and carried that dominance into the Super Six with a strong victory. UAE, meanwhile, opened their Super Six account with a nerve-wracking loss, and will be eager to get back on track. This match promises a tight battle, with both teams capable of winning, but Oman’s current form tilts the scales slightly in their favor.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Oman Preview

Oman have opened their Super Six campaign in the Asia and EAP Qualifier with plenty of intent, easing past Qatar by 34 runs after defending a total of 173. The side looked calm under pressure and in sync across departments, which should help them carry that momentum in the games ahead.

Vinayak Shukla has been their most effective batter so far, collecting 86 runs in three outings at a healthy strike rate of 165.38. He has been striking the ball sweetly, and another handy 20 or more from him would make a difference.

Captain Jatinder Singh is the backbone of their batting setup. He was outstanding in the previous match, firing 66 from 40 balls to set up a strong total. A repeat of that form, even a 30-plus knock, could again tilt the game in their favour.

Mohammad Nadeem has chipped in steadily, making 49 runs across two games while keeping the run rate flowing. Aryan Bisht and Hammad Mirza are both capable of quick 20–30 run bursts that can push the total higher.

The bowlers have handled their job efficiently. Jiten Ramanandi has led the attack with six wickets in three matches at an economy rate of 6.60. Nadeem Khan and Mohammad Nadeem have combined for seven more, giving the attack balance and bite.

Shakeel Ahmed and Shah Faisal have also chipped in well, each picking up four wickets and maintaining tight spells through the middle overs.

Oman Predicted Playing XI:

Jatinder Singh (c), Ashish Odedara, Hammad Mirza, Mohammad Nadeem, Vinayak Shukla (wk), Aryan Bisht, Sufyan Mehmood, Jiten Ramanandi, Nadeem Khan, Shah Faisal, Shakeel Ahmed

United Arab Emirates Preview

UAE’s campaign in the Asia and EAP Qualifier has swung between promise and frustration. They topped their group early on but suffered a tough one-run defeat to Nepal in their Super Six opener. That result will sting, and they’ll need a sharp turnaround to challenge a buoyant Oman side.

Alishan Sharafu has been their standout performer with the bat, scoring 143 runs in three games at a strike rate of 127. He can set the tone at the top and usually pushes past 30 or 40 before opening up further. 

Skipper Muhammad Waseem has chipped in with 96 runs from three outings at 143, while Rahul Chopra and Harshit Kaushik have the talent to add stability through the middle order.

In terms of bowling, Muhammad Rohid and Zahid Ali have been dependable, taking seven wickets between them. The surface here has encouraged turn, which means Dhruv Parashar and Haider Ali could trouble Oman’s batters in the middle overs.

United Arab Emirates Predicted Playing XI:

Muhammad Waseem (c), Alishan Sharafu, Harshit Kaushik, Jonathan Figy, Rahul Chopra (wk), Basil Hameed, Dhruv Parashar, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Haider Ali, Zahid Ali, Junaid Siddique

Weather Conditions

The track at Ministry Turf 1 tends to play true early on, offering steady bounce and only a touch of movement for fast bowlers. Once the shine fades, spinners come into their own, using flight and pace changes to trouble batters through the later overs. The team that controls that middle phase should be able to dictate the game’s rhythm.

Players will also have to battle the heat and humidity in Al Amerat, which can quickly drain energy levels. The bright side is that rain isn’t expected, so a full contest should be on the cards.

OMA vs UAE Pitch Report

We have seen some tense, low-scoring games at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground during this Asia and EAP Qualifier, and teams have often struggled to get to 150 on this surface. Given the conditions, putting a total near 160 on the board could very well be sufficient to win this particular match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing sides have dominated the Asia and EAP Qualifier matches in Al Amerat. With this advantage evident, the toss-winning leader will likely field first and back their team to successfully overhaul the opposition’s total
