Pakistan Defeat Bangladesh By 5-0
Pakistan defeated Bangladesh 5-0 in their last pool match of the Asian Games Hockey Tournament at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium here on Tuesday.

With this victory, Pakistan have entered the semi-finals as the top team of Group B. Pakistan led 3-0 at half time. Bangladesh finished third in the group and qualify for the sixth-fifth position decider.

It was the first time that Bangladesh finished third in their group. Pakistan will face Japan, who defeated South Korea 3-2, in the semi-finals.

Bangladesh went down a goal after just a minute’s play as Mohammad Atiq found the mark. Mubashar Ali then doubled the lead in the ninth minute by scoring from a penalty corner.

Mubashar scored from another penalty corner in the second period of play. Shan Ali scored in the third period before Atiq scored his second in the fourth period from a penalty corner.

India are the top team in Pool A with five wins from as many matches.

They will face second-placed Malaysia from Pool B. A marquee final between arch-rivals Pakistan and India is on the cards if both teams beat their respective opponents in the semis on August 30.

The final of the Asian Games hockey event will be played on September 1.

Pakistan’s hockey team represents the national contingent’s best hope for a gold medal. Hockey at the Asian Games is always a highlight and this year sees one of the biggest fields of competitors with 12 men’s teams and 10 women’s teams all searching for that most sought after of prizes — to be the first nation to qualify for a place at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

You get a good, honest, fighter leader and every team starts performing.
Just like a man is known by the company he keeps,
A nation is known by the leaders it chooses.

good but nearly all the opponents so far were weak. Only competent match will be against India in semi/final. Though both India and Pakistan ranked down the list when it comes to international ratings.
