Pakistan has gone on to extend their impressive winning streak in the Zone E Polo World Cup qualifiers in Abuja, Nigeria, beating arch-rivals India 7-4 as they advanced to the next stage.
The Green Shirts were very strong and played a dominating game, controlling the tempo of the game and outplaying India in the entire game. The win was Pakistan’s latest in another impressive series of defeats. Pakistan defeated Iran 10-6 Iran, just two games into the qualifying round.
India, on the other hand, found it hard to match the pace of Pakistan and their attack, and had to play a defensive game for much of the game in order to stay on track. The 7-4 loss was another disappointing one for the Indian side in the competition, which was once again won by Pakistan.
After winning their first two games, Pakistan have improved their record in the Zone E qualifying group and are well on their way to the World Cup.
The national side will play their last qualifiers on Sunday against Nigeria. If they win one more time, the nation will be further established in the game and will be on a stronger footing to move forward in the Polo World Cup.
The Green Shirts have definitely gained momentum following their two consecutive wins against Iran and India and are now aiming to keep their streak alive in their upcoming matches against Nigeria, to secure a place in the finals.
