India dominated the match from the onset. However, in the second and third quarter, Pakistan looked the better side creating chance one after the another but failing to make it count.
Experienced campaigners Umar Bhutta and Atiq Muhammad, in particular, did well for Pakistan but Varun Kumar and Amit Rohidas did well to hold the Indian defense.
