KARACHI:
Pakistan lost their opening Four-Nation Hockey tournament match against hosts Australia 6-0 at the Tasmania Hockey Centre in Hobart, Australia on Saturday.
The Kookaburras — the world’s number one hockey team – opened their goal tally in the fourth minute of the game through Jake Whetton’s field goal. Seven minutes later, Flynn Ogilvie doubled the lead to end the first quarter on 2-0.
Pakistan got a chance to score at the start of second quarter as they received a penalty corner in 24th minute, but failed to convert it. Australia then increased to 3-0 in the third quarter through Trent Mitton in 33rd minute.
The fourth and last quarter also proved barren for the Greenshirts, while Blake Govers, Ogilvie and Keil Brown completed a 6-0 rout of the visitors.
In the other match, Australia A defeated South Korea 3-1 and will next play Pakistan on Sunday, while Australia are up against the Koreans.
