India continued its no-handshake policy with Pakistan during the Hong Kong Sixes match, following the precedent set during Asia Cup 2025 and the Women's World Cup. Led by Dinesh Karthik, India won by 2 runs via DLS method after rain interrupted Pakistan's chase of 87 runs at 41/1. The animosity stems from tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack and India's Operation Sindoor retaliation. Sources confirmed India will maintain the Asia Cup 2025 norm of avoiding handshakes. Earlier, India posted 86/4 in six overs, with Robin Uthappa scoring 28 and Bharat Chipli contributing 24. Both teams returned to designated seating areas without any post-match interaction.
