Before the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 opener in Guwahati, Assamese singer Papon paid a heartfelt musical tribute to his late friend Zubeen Garg, who drowned in Singapore at 52. Performing Zubeen's popular song 'Maya', Papon moved spectators to tears. Meanwhile, India set a 271-run target for Sri Lanka, aided by Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma's middle-order rescue.
