India and Pakistan are playing their second Group A match of the U19 Asia Cup. Both teams opened the tournament with huge victories. India crushed the UAE by a 234-run margin, while Pakistan swept aside Malaysia with an even bigger win by 297 runs, setting up a highly anticipated clash between the two rivals.
India adopted the no-handshake rule during the senior Asia Cup in Dubai as a show of support for the Indian Army and the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. The same approach was followed later in the Women’s ODI World Cup and the Rising Stars Asia Cup whenever India played Pakistan.
India Maintain No-Handshake Policy During U19 Asia Cup Toss
India’s no-handshake stance was visible again during the U19 Asia Cup clash in Dubai, where Ayush Mhatre avoided a handshake with Pakistan skipper Farhan Yousuf at the toss.
It is the sixth India–Pakistan matchup across ICC and ACC events since September, and in every one of those games, the Indian captain has maintained the no-handshake policy.
Toss Decision, Playing XI and Captain’s Reasoning
“We would have bowled first because of the moisture. We will have to stick to our plans and bat well. We are confident, having won the match comfortably. It is a normal match for us as we have played enough cricket,” Ayush Mhatre said.
