Dubai. As part of Women's Asia Cup Cricket, the match between India and Pakistan has started at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday.
Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first. However, before the start of the match, Indian team captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not shake hands with Pakistani captain Fatima Sana, which has once again created a buzz in the sports world.
Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not shake hands with the Pakistani captain even in the Women's T20 World Cup match on June 14. In fact, after the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22 April 2025, Indian players have been adopting a no handshake policy with Pakistani players.
This policy started with last year's Men's Asia Cup. At that time, the Indian team under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistani player Salman Ali Agha.
In the clash between India and Pakistan, the Indian team looked very strong. India have won all their last four matches against Pakistan. Pakistan last won against India in October 2022 during the Asia Cup. That is Pakistan's only win against India in the history of Asia Cup T-20, India has won the remaining 6 matches.
