View Full Schedule/Result



Indians passed the first test in the FIH Hockey World Cup with flying colours when they trounced arch-rivals Pakistan 4-1 to make a strong start to their campaign.

After Prabhjot Singh added the third goal to India’s tally immediately after the break, Sandeep Singh blasted in the fouth goal, from penalty corner as well as India looked to build an unassailable lead over their arch-rivals.

Luck meanwhile, deserted listless Pakistan in the second-half as well as yet another strike from Sohail Abbas was denied by the cross bar. Though Pakistan did get a consolation goal in the 59th minute, the 4-1 margin pretty much summed up India’s start-to-finish dominance.

With all 3 points in the kitty, India now go on top of Pool B.

Team India would next be seen in action on Tuesday when they take on Australia.

India looked bright on the field, but Pakistanis were comparatively subdued and failed to pose much problems to the Indian defenders.

The only penalty corner Pakistan got in the first-half also failed to pay any dividends as the ball rebounded off the crossbar.

India’s defense held firm ever since.
