DUBAI :India beat Pakistan to defend their Asia Cup title but refused to accept the trophy from Pakistan's interior minister Mohsin Naqvi in a bizarre end to a politically-charged tournament on Sunday. Emotions ran high around the match between the nuclear-armed neighbours, who engaged in a brief military conflict in May, that nearly escalated into full-scale war. The teams clashed three times in the eight-team tournament in the United Arab Emirates with India prevailing on all three occasions.
