India were held to a 1-1 draw against Pakistan in their campaign opener at Asia Cup Hockey 2022 in Jakarta on Monday. Pakistan started with some good attack in the first quarter, but contrastingly, they were India who drew the first blood. In the 9th minute of the game, a shot from Karthi Selvam got deflected from the stick of Pakistan player and went into the post. Despite that Pakistan did some really good attack and created chances in the first half of the game but to their poor luck, all those opportunities went begging. In the third quarter, India came out as a better unit but their lack of conversion rate from the PCs saw the scoreline remain unchanged. A resilient Pakistan eventually got an equalizer in the 59th minute when India’s goalkeeper Suraj Karkera defended a PC but Abdul Rana struck on rebound. The goal helped Pakistan share points with India in the thrilling campaign opener. Get India vs Pakistan match highlights here.
