Pakistan collapsed from 113-1 to 146 all out against India during Sunday's Asia Cup final at Dubai. Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets as Pakistan surrendered their last nine wickets for just 33 runs. The teams again refused to shake hands before play began, continuing tensions from earlier tournament meetings.
Openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman built an 84-run partnership before the batting order crumbled. Farhan scored 57 runs while Zaman contributed 46 before falling short of his half-century. Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Haris Rauf and celebrated with a gesture mocking the Pakistani bowler's previous interaction with the crowd.
The match marks the first Asia Cup final between these neighbors in the tournament's four-decade history. Political tensions have prevented bilateral cricket series between the nuclear-armed nations for over ten years.
