India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Asia Cup 2025, chasing 128 with 25 balls to spare. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav dedicated the win to the armed forces and the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. “We stand with the families of the victims and express our solidarity,” he said. Opposition parties had urged India to boycott the match, accusing the government of choosing “profit over blood.” Indian players also avoided handshakes with Pakistan as a tribute to the victims.
