Cricket Fans Celebrate India's Dominant Win Over Pakistan 🇮🇳

“If it was a closely fought match, that would have been thrilling - but it was one-sided.”

This is how fans outside the stadium reacted to India’s victory over Pakistan at the Asia Cup held in Dubai on Sunday.

This match marked their first meeting since the four-day military conflict between the two nations in April following a deadly militant attack on tourists in India-adminsitered Kashmir.

There were calls for the Asia Cup to be cancelled or the match boycotted, but it went ahead.

India cruised to a seven-wicket victory, after which captain Suryakumar Yadav and batting partner Shivam Dube immediately left the field rather than shaking hands in the middle, as is the norm. Afterwards, Pakistan’s players appeared to walk towards India’s dugout when they left the field but the India players had already returned to the dressing room.

India and Pakistan could yet meet again in this Asia Cup should both sides progress to the latter stages.
