India Defeats Pakistan in Women's T20 World Cup Match; No Handshake Between Teams

In the match played between India and Pakistan in the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian women's team made a great start to their campaign by defeating Pakistan by a huge margin of 64 runs. Apart from India's victory in the match, Deepti Sharma's lethal bowling and Pakistan's weak batting, one more thing caught everyone's attention. It was the absence of the traditional handshake between the players of both the teams. Whether it was during the toss or the time after the match, the general scene of shaking hands between the players of both the teams was not seen. Pakistan's head coach Wahab Riaz was questioned in the post-match press conference about this issue, to which he gave his reaction. During the press conference, before asking the question, a journalist said that he apologizes for bringing political topics in the atmosphere related to the game. After this, he asked Wahab Riaz how the real relationship between the players and support staff of both the teams is and what is the reason for not shaking hands.
