After the match, the Indian players also avoided handshakes, which left the Pakistan camp frustrated. Suryakumar went on to dedicate the victory to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. Speaking to India Today, Ganguly endorsed the move and strongly condemned terrorism. “Terrorism should never happen whether it’s cricket or football, people shouldn’t die. And this is not just about India and Pakistan, we”ve seen it in Russia, in Qatar. Why? It”s not necessary for people to die in order to live in this world. And sports should not stop either. Sports must continue—football, cricket—because all are aspects of life,” Ganguly said. The match itself was one-sided, with India putting in a dominant performance to secure their second win of the tournament. “As expected, India defeated Pakistan” – Ganguly Reflecting on the result, Ganguly praised the Indian side. “India handled it well. As expected, India defeated Pakistan, and quite easily. We”ve been seeing this for the last ten years—Pakistan might win one odd match, but the majority are won by India because there is a significant difference in the quality of both teams.” Also Read: How fielding could cost India the Women’s World Cup 2025?
