India beat Pakistan to take Asian Games gold
Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma set India on their way to victory as they beat Pakistan to win gold at the Asian Games.
India defeated Pakistan to claim the Asian Games gold medal in Nagoya, Japan. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma delivered blistering half-centuries, with Abhishek hitting seven sixes and Tilak scoring an unbeaten 51 from 22 balls. Pakistan's Hasan Nawaz contributed 96 runs off 51 balls but fell short in the chase. India's bowlers, including spinners Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, and all-rounder Shivam Dube, played crucial roles in restricting Pakistan's score to 192-6.
This victory marked India's back-to-back gold in the men's competition, following their win in Hangzhou, China four years ago.
