KARACHI: Hosts India excelled in the do-or-die hockey match to advance to the semi-finals by thrashing arch-rivals Pakistan 7-4 in New Delhi.

India dominated the match from the start that resulted in a third-minute lead through Sandeep Kumar. He doubled the lead eight minutes later while Shivendra Singh (19th) and Sarvanjit Singh (20th) continued the free-scoring with two goals in the space of 60 seconds to leave the Greenshirts in deep trouble. Pakistan reduced the deficit through Mohammad Imran and Mohammad Rizwan as India led 4-2 at the interval.

The hosts took a 5-2 lead through Danish Mujtaba and four minutes later, Dharamvir Singh made it 6-2 and while Mohammad Irfan reduced the deficit in the 58th minute, Shivendra Singh scored the seventh for India. Shakeel Abbasi scored a consolation goal two minutes from time.

danish | 14 years ago | Reply pak hockey is to be developed gradually, because no one has been serious in the last 14 years since 1996. infact a deliberate effort of degrading pakistans identity and soft image. drring these years we only had sohail addas as a star striker and occasionally rehan butt. if they did not scored in the match the whole blame goes onto them for the which disharted them. as if the have taken "thaika" for winnig.

Sajid | 14 years ago | Reply Kudos to Indian team, in pakistan so many other things are going no one has interest in this game.
