'Like we did in Asia Cup': Pakistan to put India 'under pressure' in Asian Games

Speaking ahead of the tournament opener on Thursday, Hesson noted that while his side must first navigate the early rounds, any potential semifinal clash against their rivals would see Pakistan attempt to replicate the pressure they applied during the previous year's Asia Cup final in Dubai.
