UAE vs Oman is an emerging rivalry in associate cricket. The two Middle Eastern neighbours have contested in close matches.
While the UAE and Oman played a match for the first time in 2015, they have been facing each other consistently since 2022. Since then, the two Arab nations have fought hard in multi-national and ACC tournaments.
One prime example of their fierce battle dates back to 2022. In their World Cup League 2 match, Oman put up 214 in the first innings, which the UAE levelled to end the match in a tie.
In T20Is, both teams are equally placed, thumping each other occasionally. They have also met in the finals of multi-nation tournaments, showing their rising power.
And the same will be visible when the UAE and Oman face off in the Asia Cup 2025. Both sides will meet on September 15, 2025, in Abu Dhabi.
This article will look at the head-to-head record between the UAE and Oman, including stats and notable performances.
