Today: India, Pakistan hockey blockbuster


For thousands of hockey fans, the Hero Honda FIH World Cup will start and end on Sunday when India play Pakistan in a blockbuster on the opening day of the two-week tournament. The sporting public in the Capital may not know a World Cup is at their doorstep — compounded by the fact that precious few tickets are available — but when India and Pakistan lock horns, everyone will hear about it.

For fans on both side of the border, victory on Sunday will be as sweet as winning the World Cup. Though 12 teams are in the fray, and at least half are title contenders — Australia are favourites; champions Germany are eyeing a hat-trick — the India-Pakistan battle will set the tone for the tournament.

The match, the first of its kind on Indian soil since 2004, offers a chance to leave behind all the negativity — security concerns, bureaucratic bungling and ticketing problems — and focus on the sport itself.

The influence of an India-Pakistan match is such it’s easy to overlook the other teams in Group B, the Group of Death. Three of them — Australia, ranked No 2, Spain, No 3, and England, ranked sixth — are stronger, on paper, and making the semifinals will be a tough task for both India and Pakistan.

I am sure Pakistan will win. Best wishes to them. They had been a great team but unfortunately both Pakistan and India is still going through building up the skills and winning ways. Pakistan is way ahead in this. India's hockey federation is a mess of politics and the game is not patronised, so we see a steady decline.

Would have liked the richest board, BCCI, to adopt this game and grow it but again the officials of BCCI cannot see beyond cricket or themselves.

Again best wishes to the Pakistan Team.

Pakistan enjoy a decidedly superior World Cup record having won the tournament four times, the last being in 1994. In comparison, Indias only Cup triumph was in 1975 after which they have finished in the 5-8 positions only twice - 1982 and 1994. They ended 12th in 1986 and only marginally better in 2002 (10th) and 2006 (11th).

Agreed with Black Blood, popularity of Cricket has choked Hockey in both countries. Adminstrators aran the involved in cheap politics rather the game. As per recent performance and turmoil in Indian Hockey, Pakistan is favourite today I think. But anyway India- pakistan match is always a different thing.

India will win, Insha'allah
