The Indian men’s hockey team scripted a stunning 12-2 win over Oman but went down 4-5 against Pakistan at the Men’s Asian Hockey 5s World Cup Qualifier in Salalah, Oman, on Wednesday. The match started with Pakistan maintaining possession in the early minutes and Ahtisham Aslam (2’) caught India’s defence with a reverse hit to get an early goal. As India tried to get back into the match with a quick move, goalkeeper Ali Raza made a good save and initiated a counter-attack, leading to Aslam (3’) doubling their lead. Maninder Singh tried to hold the ball in the middle, but Zikriya Hayat (5’) intercepted and took a shot from a distance to score another goal for Pakistan.
