Pakistan’s hockey team has done something incredible! After an intense match against Canada, they’ve secured a spot in the final of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup for the first time since 2011. It’s a big deal because Pakistan has a strong history in this tournament, winning it three times before in 1999, 2000, and 2003.
In their last match, Pakistan was trailing 2-0 against Canada in the first 17 minutes. But they didn’t give up. With determination and skill, they turned the game around and won 5-4! Now, they’re all set to face Japan in the final on May 11, Saturday. The final will be played in Ipoh, Malaysia, and fans are expecting a neck-to-neck match again.
The team’s captain, Ammad Butt, and his teammates have shown incredible spirit and talent throughout the tournament. They’ve won three matches and drawn one, putting them at the top of the table.
Malaysia and New Zealand follow in the standings, each with six points. Korea, with three points, and Canada, struggling without any wins, fill the fifth and sixth positions, respectively.
