Arch-rivals India and Pakistan, who have a long history in hockey, will face each other on Wednesday, August 9 at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Chennai. Home team, India, is currently leading the pack with 10 points in four matches, while Pakistan are fourth with five points in four matches.
India are the highest-ranked team in the tournament and have played like one, as they are the only unbeaten team in the competition after four matches. India defeated China 7-2 in their opening match after a stifling 1-1 draw with Japan, and in a clinical display, they destroyed a very capable Malaysian team 5-0. The match against Korea was tense but the Indian team kept their cool to conserve their one goal lead.
By contrast, it’s been a mixed bag for Pakistan. Their tournament began with a loss to Malaysia, but draws against South Korea and Japan put them on the board, and a victory over China has put them in a position to seal qualification for the semifinals.
Head-to-Head:
The two teams have met 10 times in the Asian Champions Trophy, with India winning six times, Pakistan winning three times, and one match ending in a draw.
India and Pakistan have played 178 matches throughout history, with India winning 64 and Pakistan winning 82, while 32 were drawn.
India are currently on a 12-match unbeaten streak against Pakistan in major competitions and will look to add to that tally.
