For Pakistan, Mohammad Atiq and Mubashar Ali scored a brace, while Ali Shan contributed a single goal.

India are the top team in Pool A with five wins from as many matches. They will now face second-placed Malaysia from Pool B.

Meanwhile, Pakistan will face the winner of the South Korea-Japan match in the semi-finals.

Surprised Japan beat Korea. Korea would have given some trouble to Pakistan but don't expect that from Japan though.

It will be difficult to win Gold in Hockey as both India and S.Korea have stronger teams right now. Pakistan is improving but I think it will take another 2 years before they seriously challenge the top 6 teams.
