While teams are battling for every run and wicket, a popular DJ has also been entertaining the crowd during matches.
A highlight of this special event was the creation of a bespoke jersey featuring the national flags of India and Pakistan.
The jersey was launched to deliver this message: "Two countries, one passion - Cricket".
Meanwhile, the highly-anticipated match between indoor teams representing the two Asian rivals was won by Team India.
“Cricket transcends national boundaries, uniting even competitive nations,” Sajan said in a statement.
“The event has showcased the sport's unique power to overcome boundaries, both geographical and political, and create an atmosphere of harmony and unity.
