For the first time in any format, the reigning champions were facing Oman, who had already been eliminated. With their win, India secured the top spot in Group A, and they will be joined in the Super Fours by runners-up Pakistan and Group B qualifiers Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Oman, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong all leave the tournament after going winless in their three games. India wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, who was not needed to bat in his team's previous two games, took advantage of his position at number three by hitting 56 off 45 balls while batting first. Kaleem's dismissal in the 18th over, caught by Hardik Pandya off Harshit Rana, shattered Oman's faint hopes of a successful chase. Pandya then removed Mirza before Arshdeep Singh accounted for Vinayak Shukla to become the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in men's T20Is.
