Overview

  • India chased 172 to win the Asia Cup Super Four match by six wickets in Dubai, led by Abhishek Sharma’s 74 off 39 and a 105‑run opening stand with Shubman Gill.
  • Pakistan’s team manager Naveed Akram Cheema lodged an official complaint to the ICC, disputing third umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge’s decision that Sanju Samson completed a clean catch to dismiss Fakhar Zaman for 15.
  • Captain Salman Ali Agha said replays suggested the ball bounced before reaching the keeper, while officials have not announced any reversal or sanction related to the decision.
  • Haris Rauf’s boundary‑line gestures, including a ‘6‑0’ sign and plane mimic, drew online backing from his wife and an explicit endorsement from Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.
  • Post‑match reaction spread beyond cricket, with celebrations across Indian cities such as Jammu and a Pakistan U‑17 footballer in Colombo copying plane‑crash and tea‑drinking gestures during a 3‑2 win for India.
