FULL TIME! And time runs out in the end, as India keeppressurising the Pakistan area. The Indians have earned a big 3-1 victory over their arch rivals with a 3-1 victory, but the result is inconsequential in the end, as Pakistan have also made it to the Super 4 stage of the tournament. India, meanwhile, have produced a dominant display of hockey in the Group Stage, and will look to continue that good form, as they go into the next round, where yet another clash between these two Asian giants and arch-rivals is set to take place. That's all from us, here, tonight, but stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more news and updates from around the world of sports.
