The Hindu: India faces stern Pakistan test

Both teams have had contrasting campaigns heading into the marquee clash

A confident India, with two wins under its belt, faces its toughest test when it takes on Pakistan in the much-anticipated clash of the Asia Cup hockey tournament here on Sunday.

The Indians have been impressive so far, beating Japan and hosts Bangladesh comprehensively in their opening two Pool A matches.

Pakistan, on the other hand, has had a mixed outing so far.

While it thrashed Bangladesh 7-0 in its campaign-opener, it was held to a 2-2 draw by Japan.
