"Overall impressive, I feel, Oman played an unbelievable brand of cricket. It was amazing, really enjoyed watching them bat. It's a little difficult when you're sitting, and suddenly you come out and play (talking about Arshdeep and Harshit). It's so humid here. Unfortunate how he got out, but you can't keep him away from the game (talking about Hardik Pandya), the way he bowled and the way he got out," Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said in the post-match presentation.

This was India's 250th T20I appearance, and they posted a challenging total of 188/8 in their 20 overs after opting to bat first against Oman, who were playing T20 World Champions for the first time.

In the batting department, Sanju Samson (56) helped himself to a half-century while Axar Patel (26 off 13 balls) and opener Abhishek Sharma (38 off 15 balls) followed the team's attacking template.
