Today in the Asia Cup 2025 cricket match between India and Pakistan, India won by 7 wickets with 25 balls remaining. Pakistan batted first and were restricted to 127/9, with Sahibzada Farhan scoring 40 and Shaheen Shah Afridi remaining unbeaten on 33. India's Kuldeep Yadav was named Player of the Match for taking 3 wickets for 18 runs. Chasing 128 runs, India achieved the target comfortably with captain Suryakumar Yadav scoring an unbeaten 47 to lead the team to victory. The match was also marked by a controversy as the Indian team refused to engage in the customary post-match handshake with the Pakistani players, a decision aligned with the BCCI and the government, leading to disappointment and complaints from Pakistan's side. This no-handshake episode has escalated into a wider controversy involving the match referee and the ICC.
