India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the final. (X)
Pakistani captain looked disappointed: Amidst the military defeats Pakistan suffered following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the Indian cricket team delivered a devastating performance on the field that shook the neighboring country. The Asia Cup 2025 final was a breathtaking affair. In this thrilling four-hour match, Team India's 11 players displayed such courage and fortitude that Indians worldwide swelled with pride.
On the other hand, this final proved to be a disastrous one for Pakistan. The defeat further humiliated them. The team had been facing repeated humiliation for the past three weeks. Mirza Ghalib's couplet came to mind: "We left your street in disgrace." Pakistan faced disappointment right from the start of the final. Ravi Shastri refused to speak to Pakistani captain Salman Agha at the toss, further embarrassing the atmosphere.
After the defeat, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga's anger and disappointment were clearly seen. He threw the check on the ground during the presentation and expressed his resentment at the batsmen. He said that the team bowled well, but the batsmen did not rotate the strike and lost wickets continuously. Agha praised India and admitted that the opposition performed well and said to return to the next tournament.
India won the Asia Cup by five wickets in the final. This was India's third consecutive victory against Pakistan in this tournament. India's dominance over Pakistan continued in the last eight matches. With this victory, India won the Asia Cup title for a record ninth time—seven times in ODIs and twice in T20s.
The biggest message came after the match. The Indian team refused to take the trophy from Asian Cricket Council President and Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi. Team India made it clear that it would not take the award from any Pakistani officer. This move is being considered a strong response from India to Pakistan at every level.
