In a dramatic finale at Dubai, Team India secured its ninth Asia Cup title with a five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan.

The final overs saw Tilak Varma deliver a crucial six off Haris Rauf, followed by Rinku Singh’s match-winning boundary—his first appearance with the bat in the tournament.
The thrilling finish sent fans into celebration across the country.
