**Poonch: Indian Army’s Balnoi Battalion Brings Cheer to Border Community with Live Screening of Asia Cup Final**
In a heartwarming gesture that brought the spirit of unity and celebration to the Line of Control (LoC), the Indian Army’s Balnoi Battalion organised a live screening of the high-voltage Asia Cup Final match between India and Pakistan. The event took place at Balnoi Ground near the LoC in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district.
A video capturing residents of the border village enthusiastically watching the match on a big screen quickly went viral on social media. Netizens praised the initiative, describing it as a symbolic and touching reminder that sports can bring people together beyond conflict and political tensions.
One social media user commented, “This is such a wonderful gesture by the Army! Another day of reminding gullible Indians that the armed forces have no enmity with Pakistan.” Another added, “After Indian Armed Forces Team India ne Pakistan ko Ragad diya Nichod diya Pakistan all out 5 balls were remaining #INDvPAK.” Many others appreciated the Army’s efforts, with remarks like, “Amazing Indian Army bringing the Asia Cup Final to people living near the border. True spirit of connecting and cheering together.”
Some observers also noted the contrast between online outrage and real-life enthusiasm, commenting, “Looks like boycott is happening only on social media. In reality, everyone is watching.”
### Team India Wins the Championship
On the field, Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 69 runs guided India to a thrilling five-wicket victory against Pakistan, securing their second T20 Asia Cup title. Chasing a target of 147, India crossed the finish line with two balls to spare, thanks to a crucial 60-run partnership between Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube, who scored 33 runs off 22 balls.
Earlier in the match, Pakistan’s openers Sahibzada Farhan (57) and Fakhar Zaman (46) gave the team a strong start. However, a middle-order collapse saw Pakistan bowled out for 146 runs. Kuldeep Yadav was the star bowler for India, taking 4 wickets for 30 runs. He received strong support from Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, and Jasprit Bumrah, each claiming two wickets.
This win marked India’s third victory over Pakistan in the tournament, adding to the excitement and significance of the match celebrated by communities on both sides of the border.
