Oman mounted a strong chase with half-centuries from Aamir Kaleem and Hammad Mirza but fell short, handing India a 21-run victory. This completed India's perfect group stage record (3 wins from 3), securing top spot in Group A and a spot in the Super 4s. Arshdeep Singh became the first Indian to reach 100 T20I wickets during the match.
