Asia Cup 2025: 3 worst fielding teams of the tournament so far
Fielding standards in some of the matches in the ongoing Asia Cup have been abysmal.
The 17th edition of the Asia Cup commenced on September 9. Eight teams are competing in the tournament, which is being played across two venues in the United Arab Emirates. While batting and bowling displays have been exemplary from some of the teams, the same cannot be said about the fielding efforts the tournament has witnessed, with plenty of catches being dropped.
India and Pakistan progressed to the Super Fours from Group A. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh made it to the Super Fours from Group B. On Friday, September 19, the group stage of the marquee event ended as India beat Oman in an inconsequential affair.

3. Oman
Oman do not have a reputation of being a great fielding side. They bank on experience as only a handful of their players are below 30 years of age. The Jatinder Singh-led side struggled with their fielding display in the tournament.
They missed catches, their ground fielding was disappointing, and 31-year-old wicketkeeper Vinayak Shukla did not look too confident behind the stumps. Some sloppy work in the field meant that they could not build consistent pressure on their opponents.
