Pakistan expresses dissatisfaction following a humiliating loss, claiming unfair treatment.

The Pakistan cricket team has formally lodged a complaint with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) regarding the conduct of Indian players who failed to shake hands following their match, as reported by PTI. This incident occurred during the sixth game of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium, where India emerged victorious with a commanding performance. A notable moment from the match was when Shivam Dube, after scoring the winning runs, and Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav exited the field without acknowledging their Pakistani counterparts. In the aftermath of their defeat, the Pakistan Cricket Board criticized this behavior, labeling it as ‘unsporting’ in an official statement. Team manager Naveed Cheema expressed strong disapproval of the Indian players’ actions, emphasizing that such conduct contradicts the spirit of the game. As a form of protest, the Pakistan team chose not to send their captain to the post-match ceremony. The match itself had been surrounded by controversy, with calls for a boycott prior to the India-Pakistan clash; however, the game proceeded as scheduled, resulting in India defeating Pakistan by seven wickets. In the post-match presentation, Suryakumar Yadav took the opportunity to express gratitude towards the armed forces, affirming that the entire Indian team stands in solidarity with the victims of the recent Pahalgam attack. He dedicated the victory to the brave members of the armed forces, hoping to inspire them and bring them joy whenever possible.
