New Delhi: India will look to continue their domination over Pakistan as the arch-rivals face off again for the second time in a week at the 10th men's Asia Cup Hockey tournament on Saturday in Dhaka.
India humbled the three-time champions 3-1 last Sunday, then went on to top the Pool A, which also included hosts Bangladesh and Japan.
Despite the defeat, Pakistan qualified for the Super 4s as the second-best team from the pool. In the Super 4s, Pakistan lost to Malaysia 2-3 then held to a 1-1 draw by South Korea. Now with one point, they are at the bottom of the four-team classification, with India at the top.
India started their Super 4 campaign in a lacklustre manner, salvaging a 1-1 draw with the Koreans thanks to a Gujraj Singh late strike. But the favourites and highest ranked Asian team showed their class, mauling a hugely confident Malaysia 6-2 in their second outing.
