00:00It's been a long time and I'm very happy to see the Pakistan Hockey team playing in the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy.

00:06It's a second consecutive win and we have defeated China with 5-1.

00:11The semifinals have also taken place, so let's show you the details in this report.

00:14To talk to us, Imran Butt is with us. Imran, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.

00:19Wa-alaikum-as-salam.

00:21As I said, I'm very happy that the Pakistan Hockey team is doing well.

00:24The Pakistan Hockey team has been doing well and has defeated China with 5-1.

00:29How do you see it?

00:31I think Pakistan could have won against Malaysia.

00:35Due to a draw, unfortunately Pakistan lost.

00:38Pakistan took the lead against Korea and unfortunately Pakistan drew.

00:43But it's a good sign that Pakistan came first to Japan with 2-1.

00:47Pakistan came to China with a good lead.

00:51China is coming up against India with a 3-0 lead.

00:54Korea has also won close to 4-0.

00:57I think Pakistan's confidence and performance is improving day by day.

01:02Obviously, the best thing is that both sides have come with goals.

01:06The way they are polishing the team and taking it forward,

01:10I hope that the Pakistan team will perform well in the next India match as well.

01:16Let's talk about the India match.

01:18I have noticed that the match between Malaysia and Korea was a winning match.

01:28Was there pressure on the players? What mistakes were made?

01:32First of all, there shouldn't be any pressure.

01:35When you click on the short corner, you will see that the Pakistan Hockey team,

01:40whether you take Korea, Japan, China or Malaysia,

01:45they have always struggled in the short corner defense.

01:48Their goalkeepers also struggle.

01:50If you look at them overall, they are better structurally and give you less open chances.

01:55I think Pakistan's movement was very good in the 3rd half.

01:59The opportunity that Pakistan had, they availed it.

02:03If you look at the other matches, Pakistan missed the chance to avail it.

02:08They made a short corner and couldn't utilize it.

02:12Because of this, you are on the draw side.

02:14As far as I can see, Pakistan and Korea will play the semi-final.

02:18If Pakistan beats India, then it will be a better chance for Pakistan.

02:22Because I can see Pakistan playing the semi-final against Korea.

02:26Tell me, we have seen the next match against India.

02:30In recent times, we have been under a lot of pressure for that big match.

02:35What should be the strategy?

02:37The last match against India was in 2014 when we beat India.

02:43After that, we played the Commonwealth Games against North India.

02:47After that, I don't remember if Pakistan has beaten India.

02:50I think India will play the pressure.

02:53Because they have set a level against Asia.

02:57Pakistan should play with an open mind.

02:59This is a game of nerves.

03:01I don't think they have any plans after the first quarter.

03:04I don't think they have any plans after the first quarter.

03:06You will see a true action hockey.

03:08But whoever plays with confidence and rails the chances, will win the match.

03:12Okay.

03:13Thank you very much for being with us.

03:15He wants to say that the next game is a game of nerves.

03:17The way Pakistan is playing, confidence is increasing day by day.
