Pakistan finally won a match in the Sultan Johor Cup when they
defeated a lacklustre Australian side 3-2 at the Taman Daya Hockey
Stadium in Johor Baru. While it was a first win for Pakistan, it was a
first defeat for Australia who had already booked a place in the final
on Wednesday.
For Pakistan, it was a welcome relief especially after they lost
their previous four matches, a record of sorts for a Pakistani hockey
team at international level. But the win did nothing to change their
position as they will play the 5/6 placing matches on Saturday.
