Asian Games: India to face arch-rivals Pakistan in hockey semi-final

The titleholders concluded their preliminary stage matches in dominant fashion by overwhelming Bangladesh by a ten-goal margin during a fixture interrupted by precipitation earlier in the week. The squad secured the summit position in Pool A as their skipper successfully converted three goals into a hat-trick.

Following this commanding performance, the team is scheduled for a high-stakes knockout clash against their historical regional adversaries. This upcoming semi-final showdown is officially slated to take place at the start of October.
