India will lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in the opening match of the Champions Trophy in Breda, Netherlands on Saturday. With hosts the Netherlands, Argentina, Pakistan, Belgium and defending champions Australia in the fray, the tournament serves as a litmus test for India ahead of the Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup Bhubaneswar 2018.
“Though right now, our immediate goal is to do well in this tournament, there is no doubt the Rabobank Men’s Hockey Champions Trophy Breda 2018 will be a reality check for us to see where we stand among other top teams especially ahead of the Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup Bhubaneswar 2018 where we want to do well as host nation,” Sreejesh, captain of the team, had stated before leaving for the Netherlands.
The last time two teams played was at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast where India led 2-0 but it finished 2-2. Overall, the two teams have played 172 games against each other with India winning 59, losing 82 and drawing 31. Catch live scores and updates of India vs Pakistan hockey match in Champions Trophy.
