CWG 2018 India vs Pakistan Hockey: After comprehensive wins against Pakistan in the recent past at Hockey World League and Asia Cup, India faced disappointment when the hooter went in Gold Coast. India got off to a poor start in men’s hockey after Pakistan staged a comeback to nullify the 0-2 deficit. As the game finished 2-2, India would rue lack of intent shown in attack in the second half which allowed Pakistan to surge forward. Harmanpreet Singh and Dilpreet Singh scored for India.

Pakistan come from 0-2 to draw 2-2 with India. Pretty poor second half from India with little inclination to push and surge forward. Zero attempts on goal a sign of that. Plus that last second PC and goal would not please anyone!
With 7 seconds to go, Pakistan have a PC! NERVOUS! The shot is saved, India clear it away. Pakistan think there is a foot involved. Go for the review. Looks like no foot on first looking. Rupinder Pal Singh with the final clearance. But the video official thinks otherwise. PC FOR PAKISTAN AGAIN! Eighth PC for Pakistan. The time is up. And Pakistan score! Ali Mubashar with the goal for Pakistan. It is slammed low and hard and Sreejesh can't get down to save.
Huge chance for Akashdeep Singh to score and give India breathing room but he scruffs his effort. Creates room and angle by shifting the ball to his left with the goal gaping but the shot is well wide of the mark. Doesn't connect properly and that is a chance wasted for India.
Sreejesh saves the shot from the PC but it rebounds to an Indian players' foot. Another PC for Pakistan. Shot is taken with little angle to live with and it hits the foot. PC for Pakistan once again. Fifth PC for Pakistan and the shot is deflected over the bar by a Pakistan stick. INDIA CONTINUE TO LEAD 2-1
PR Sreejesh saves Pakistan from getting an equaliser. Fantastic ball over the top and a Pakistan player in the box controls it beautifully. Has Sreejesh to beat but the keeper makes himself big to defend the shot. But the attack goes on and Pakistan earn a PC
Fourth quarter underway. 15 minutes for Pakistan to get a goal and draw parity while India hope to defend the same and go on the attack to extend their advantage. This is quite different than how the games between these two have gone in the recent past
Yellow card for Chinglensana and India go down to ten men momentarily. And there goes the hooter. No goals in this quarter with both sides remaining cagey in attack and defending resolutely. India lead Pakistan 2-1 at the end of the third quarter
India call for a referral and appeal for a dangerous play. The decision however is reversed and India lose their referral.
Pakistan pull one back and PR Sreejesh is not happy with the defending. Rightfully so. Plenty of space in the final third for a Pakistan player to run on and then pass it to Muhammad Irfan Jr to slide it home. INDIA 2-1 PAKISTAN
India win a PC early in third quarter. Rupinder Pal Singh gets a shot on and there is a deflection on his shot. Chance goes to waste and the scoreline remains unaffected
India lead Pakistan 2-0 as the third quarter gets underway. Chance for India to regain the momentum they had in the early part of the second quarter. Or can Pakistan keep things the same way?
India lead Pakistan 2-0 at half time with goals from Dilpreet Singh and Harmanpreet Singh. Dilpreet scored from a field goal and Harmanpreet on a penalty corner. India looked better at the start of the second quarter but have weathered plenty of Pakistan attack in the second part. But at the break, they're ahead with plenty of help from the wall in PR Sreejesh
Third PC for Pakistan in matter of few seconds. Decent strike with some variation. Shot/pass to a vacant Pakistan player right in front of the goal. Gets a shot on and it is blocked, clearance is straight to a Pakistan player who gets a shot on but Sreejesh gets down low quickly to save the chance. Lovely defending work by India.
First PC of the game for Pakistan. Can they make it out? Abu Mahmood gets the shot on and it is blocked at the line. Pakistan think there is a foot right at the end and want another PC. Reviewed. PC once again for Pakistan. Another attempt and this one is blocked and cleared away. Smart defending by India
India looking far superior than Pakistan while going forward. Rupinder Pal Singh skipping past two Pakistan players with ease despite running the ball away from him.
Akashdeep Singh and Muhammad Faisal Qadir involved in some afters here. Referee has none of it as the two players go after each other. Bit of a scuffle before the teammates intervene to draw sense. Referee, rightly, sends the two out to cool themselves down
Third penalty corner of the game and this time India score! Lovely strike by Harmanpreet Singh and it beats the Pakistan keeper with ease. Pakistan opt to review but the ball had left the circle after the grab. No reason to reverse the decision. INDIA 2-0 PAKISTAN
Second penalty corner of the game for India and Harmanpreet Singh has a crack at it. Another one missed by India. But the resultant attack continues to bring another PC
Roelant Oltmans captured on TV with his tactics: "Keep doing the same thing you're doing but just push a little more, play a bit deeper". Let's see if it results in anything. Second quarter underway, India 1-0 Pakistan. Right at the start, Muhammad Atiq gets a yellow card and that gives India chance to make most of a man advantage
India's first PC of the match. Rupinder Pal Singh sets himself up, goes for the top right post of the goal but it goes over. Nicely contact but a bit too much in the end.
On the return, Pakistan hit the crossbar. With little room and angle to work with, beautiful stuff by Pakistan to get the shot going and it has hit the crossbar and gone over. Nervous moment for Indian defence.
GOAL! INDIA LEAD 1-0! India take the lead in the closing stages of the first quarter. Superb counter attack. SV Sunil with a lovely pass across the face of the goal and Dilpreet Singh is on hand at the far post to hammer the ball home. Plenty of space being given out by Pakistan defence and India make the most of it.
India reduced to ten men for two minutes with under seven minutes to go in the first quarter. Sumit asked to sit down by the referee
India with bright start in the opening quarter. Mandeep Singh with decent run into the final third but unable to penetrate the Pakistan defence. The two teams just taking a measure of each other for the first five minutes
We're underway! India vs Pakistan to get the Men's Hockey campaign underway. Former India coach Roelant Oltmans' presence could be a vital add for Pakistan. Will that prove decisive in turning around the poor results of the past?
CHEER FOR INDIA AT CWG! Plenty of fans are in the crowd to cheer for India as they get ready to take on Pakistan in Men's Hockey at Commonwealth Games 2018.
