LONDON (Dunya News) – Pakistan’s struggles in the FIH Pro Hockey League continued as the national team suffered their 14th consecutive defeat in the tournament.
The Green Shirts were beaten 2-1 by England in their latest match played in London, following their defeat against India in the previous fixture.
The result extended Pakistan’s difficult run in the competition, with the team still searching for its first point of the campaign. Despite finding the net once against England, Pakistan were unable to hold off the hosts, who secured the victory with a narrow margin.
England took control of the contest and managed to overcome Pakistan with a 2-1 scoreline. The national side’s only goal came through Rana Waheed Ashraf, who provided a moment of relief for Pakistan during the encounter.
