For the fourth time in the last 25 days, India and Pakistan met on the cricket field and one thing remained the same -- the cold vibe among the players. Similar to the three meetings during the recently concluded Men’s Asia Cup, the skippers of the two sides refused to shake hands during their ICC Women’s World Cup match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo yesterday. India’s Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan’s Fatima Sana walked past each other without any display of friendliness following the toss, as issues beyond cricket continued to spill onto the field between the two politically charged neighbouring nations.
