India, Pakistan vie for top spot in pool

Dhaka: India will face arch-foes Pakistan in a battle that will determine the top finisher in Pool A of the Asia Cup at the Maulana Bhashani National Hockey Stadium here on Sunday.

The Sjoerd Marijne-coached India have so far stormed to the top of the pool with two easy wins over Japan (5-1) and hosts Bangladesh (7-0) in the first two matches.

They will be aiming to continue to pump in more goals with their forwards in very good form.

Pakistan on Friday dropped two points after Japan held them 2-2. The record world champions had earlier drubbed Bangladesh 7-0.
