Oman’s ACC Women’s Premier Cup campaign ends with huge loss to Indonesia

Oman's historic run in the 2026 ACC Women's Premier Cup concluded with a crushing 113-run defeat to Indonesia in the quarter-finals. The match, held at the YSD-UKM Cricket Oval in Bangi, Malaysia, saw Oman bundled out for just 24 runs in response to Indonesia's 137 for 7.

Despite the disappointing end to their tournament, this campaign will be remembered as a significant milestone for Oman. They reached the knockout stage for the first time in their history, qualifying as one of the best second-placed teams from the group stage. Their journey included notable victories over China, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines.

In the quarter-final clash, Indonesia recovered from an early wobble to post a competitive total. After winning the toss and electing to bat, they were reduced to 4 for 2 in the second over. However, a crucial partnership anchored by captain Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini, who scored 51 off 49 balls, steadied the innings. Late contributions from Ni Made Putri Suwandewi (23 not out) propelled Indonesia to 137 for 7.

Chasing a modest target, Oman's batting lineup collapsed spectacularly. Ni Kadek Fitria Rada Rani was the chief destroyer, taking four wickets for just 11 runs in her four overs, earning her the Player of the Match award. Oman's innings imploded to 24 all out in 11.5 overs, with 14 of those runs coming from extras. Only Hina Javed managed to score more than two runs among the top nine batters.

Indonesia now advances to the semi-finals to face the UAE, while Hong Kong will play Thailand in the other semi-final. The dominant performance by Indonesia, particularly from Ni Suwandewi, highlighted the gap between the two teams on the day.
