Dubai, UAE — India showcased complete dominance over Pakistan as Kuldeep Yadav’s spin wizardry and Axar Patel’s disciplined bowling left the Pakistani batting lineup in disarray, securing a convincing seven-wicket victory in a one-sided Asia Cup clash on Sunday.
The match, held in Dubai, drew a near full-capacity crowd, with Indian supporters making up nearly 85 percent of the audience despite calls from certain quarters to boycott the game in protest of the Pahalgam terror attack in April. From start to finish, India’s performance was clinical, dismantling Pakistan’s batting one ball at a time.

Kuldeep Yadav’s clever variations and spin control troubled Pakistan’s batters throughout their innings, while Axar Patel’s relentless accuracy ensured no respite for the opposition. Pakistan struggled to build partnerships, often losing wickets in quick succession, and failed to post a competitive total against the disciplined Indian attack.
India’s chase was equally commanding. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav led the charge, finishing the match with a decisive six, as his team chased down the target with relative ease. The victory was marked not only by India’s superior performance but also by a notable absence of post-match courtesies. Neither at the toss nor after the match did Indian players shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts, a gesture that drew attention as the teams lined up following the conclusion of the game.
The outcome reinforced India’s superiority in the contest, combining strategic bowling, sharp fielding, and composed batting. Fans in the stadium witnessed a performance that left little doubt about the result, with India controlling the match from the very first ball.
This win adds another memorable chapter to the storied India-Pakistan rivalry in cricket, underscoring India’s current dominance in the Asia Cup while also highlighting the tension that continues to surround matches between the two nations.
