INDIA vs PAKISTAN SULTAN AZLAN SHAH CUP 2016
India, who have qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics, are using the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup as perfect preparation for the mega event. But when it comes to such match with rivarly team like Pakistan, anything less than a victory is very disappointing for India. No matter who are playing on the field, they are expected to give it their all in the whole match.
India had defeated the Canada and Japan team in the tournament but they did not give their best till now. If they wants to win over Pakistan, Sardaar singh and their men need to play hockey better to defeat Pakistan in Azlan shah hockey cup. India lost against Australia in the tournament. India needs to be careful and do not play like silly person which is disasterous for India. India have some swift player likes SV Sunil and Ramandeep who use their hockey sticks as a wand to get past the defenders of Pakistan.
Pakistan did good start in the tournament to defeat canada 3-1, which show the some powerful hockey played by Pakistan. But in last two encouters Pakistan lost to Australia and NewZealand. If Pakistan win over India, then Pakistan need to stand up their defensive player and deliver against India.
Pakistan is in second last position in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, this match is of prime importance to them as a loss will make it tough for them to move up the table.
