India and Pakistan will add another page to their famous hockey rivalry when the arch-rivals play in the Asian Champions Trophy 2024 at the Moqi Hockey Training Base in Hulunbuir, People’s Republic of China, on Saturday.
The IND vs PAK hockey round-robin league match will begin at 1:15 PM IST on September 14 and will be available on live streaming and telecast in India.
The Indian men’s hockey team, led by ace drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh, will enter the match as table toppers, having convincingly won all their four Asian Champions Trophy games so far.
India, the defending champions, beat hosts China 3-0 in their campaign opener and slammed Japan 5-1 in their second match. India then trounced the 2023 finalists Malaysia 8-1 and clinched a 3-1 win against the Republic of Korea in their previous match.
Pakistan, captained by Ammad Butt, remain unbeaten in the six-nation competition as well. They are second on the points table with two wins and two draws. Pakistan produced exciting 2-2 draws against Malaysia and South Korea in their first two matches and beat Japan 2-1 and China 5-1 in their next two games.
Both India and Pakistan have already qualified for the Asian Champions Trophy hockey semi-finals to be played on Monday.
Pakistan’s 19-year-old rising star Hannan Shahid is the tournament’s second-highest scorer with four goals.
India, the Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medallists, have Raj Kumar Pal, Araijeet Singh Hundal, Harmanpreet Singh, Sukhjeet Singh, and Uttam Singh all tied on three goals each.
Pakistan lead the overall head-to-head record against India 82-66. However, India have dominated recent encounters, winning 14 of the last 16 matches, with the other two ending in draws. Pakistan’s last victory over India came in the 2016 South Asian Games final in Guwahati.
In their most recent meetings last year, India defeated Pakistan 10-2 in their pool match at the Asian Games in Hangzhou and 4-0 in the Asian Champions Trophy in Chennai.
At the Asia Cup 2022 in Jakarta, a relatively young Indian side held Pakistan to a 1-1 draw while in the Asian Champions Trophy 2021 in Dhaka, India edged Pakistan 4-3 to claim the bronze medal.
India are the most successful side in the Asian Champions Trophy, having won it four times. They defeated Malaysia 4-3 in the final in Chennai last year. Pakistan are second best with three titles.
