The second Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan. Ahead of this crucial match, an inappropriate behavior by Pakistani players has further heated up the atmosphere.
A high-voltage match is scheduled for today (September 21) in the Asia Cup 2025. India and Pakistan will clash in the Super Four match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. These two teams also faced each other in the group stage, where the Indian team won by 7 wickets. A handshake controversy also erupted after the match. Meanwhile, an action by Pakistani players has once again heated up the atmosphere.
Inappropriate behavior by Pakistani players
Tension has intensified ahead of this match between India and Pakistan. In fact, during a recent practice session at the ICC Academy in Dubai, reports emerged of Pakistani players chanting "6-0, 6-0," which is being seen as a taunt towards India. This chant is being linked to the Pakistani Air Force's claim of shooting down six Indian fighter jets during the recent military conflict.
According to reports, Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf initiated this chant during practice. Following this, other players were also seen chanting "6-0, 6-0." A video is also going viral on social media, in which fast bowler Haris Rauf is seen making the "6-0" gesture.
There was a huge uproar in the group stage.
It should be noted that a controversial atmosphere has prevailed between the two teams since the group stage match. Following the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April, the Indian team decided not to shake hands with Pakistani players, prompting Pakistan to boycott the pre-match press conference. Meanwhile, the Pakistani team had demanded the removal of match referee Andy Pycroft from the tournament, but the ICC rejected this request twice. Now, Pycroft has been appointed as the referee for the Super Four clash, which could further fuel the controversy.
