Sufyan Mehmood of Oman believes his team may cause ‘an upset’ at the 2025 Asia Cup. He expressed optimism that Oman would work with India and Pakistan throughout the league phase. Oman is classified in Group A, alongside India, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates.
Sufyan Mehmood added that Oman will enter every fixture without fear of failure.
He also stated that Oman’s performances have the potential to have a significant impact on the tournament, and he intends to take advantage of the opportunity.
“In terms of preparation, when you play such games, you have to be fearless because there’s nothing to lose. To showcase your talent, you must remove the fear factor. Hopefully, we can challenge both sides and ensure it won’t be an easy cakewalk for them. If we continue playing good cricket, as we are right now, I’m confident we can even cause an upset. It may sound like a bold statement, but I genuinely believe that with our current form, we can make a strong impact in this tournament. We are staying positive about it,” Mehmood was quoted as saying by India Today.
The 33-year-old opened up on the value tournaments like the Asia Cup holds for cricketers coming from associate nations like Oman.
“Personally, this tournament holds immense value for us in our careers. Ever since we started playing cricket, we dreamed of competing against the giants of world cricket. Every moment of this tournament will be historic for us, especially these two matches,” he added.
