India A Beat Oman by Six Wickets to Enter ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars Semi-Finals
India A earned a comfortable six-wicket win over Oman in the ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars Championship after a strong team effort with the ball and an unbeaten fifty from Harsh Dubey. This victory also confirmed their place in the semi-finals, where they will join Pakistan Shaheens at the same venue on Friday.
