Dubai, Asia Cup final

class=”ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3″>Pakistan 146 (19.1 overs): S Farhan 57 (38), K Yadav 4-30

India 150-5 (19.4 overs): Tilak 69* (53), Faheem 3-29

By five wickets, India won.

In a tense final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, India won the Asia Cup by five wickets over Pakistan.

The rivals’ third appearance at the tournament was a success for India, which earned them their ninth title.

Similar to the two earlier fractious encounters, both sides once more refused to shake hands.

The India players did not come back for the trophy presentation, according to reports that Mohsin Naqvi, the president of the Asian Cricket Council, and Mohsin Naqvi, the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board, were present.

Sahibzada Farhan (57) and Fakhar Zaman (46), who were made to bat first, put together an impressive opening stand of 84.

With 44 balls remaining in the innings, they rallied to 113-1, but the subsequent collapse would be dramatic and have an impact on the outcome.

In their opening three overs, India themselves lost three wickets, giving Pakistan hope, and they themselves started poorly.

However, Tilak Varma’s fine unbeaten 69 helped them to avenge, while Shivam Dube (33) and Sanju Samson (24) provided much-needed support as they won with two balls to go.

It’s been incredible to continue winning in the tournament, said Test captain Shubman Gill. We knew we had to play the game as fully as we could when times were difficult.
