After losing the first two sets 25-23, 25-23, Pakistan bounced back to level the match by taking the following sets 25-19, 25-18. However, India won the decider 15-13 to advance to the next round and send Pakistan packing.
“We gave the Indians a hard time,” Pakistan coach Mazhar Hussain told The Express Tribune. “We gave our best. I just think that my players succumbed to the pressure. India are a better side and play more tournaments than us.”
Meanwhile, South Korea outplayed China 3-1 and Thailand beat Chinese Taipei by the same scoreline to progress to the next round of the tournament.
