Indian men's hockey team registered a hard-fought 3-1 win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asian Champions Trophy here at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium.

Harmanpreet Singh opened the scoring, allowing India to head into half-time with a 1-0 lead. Akashdeep Singh doubled the lead in the third quarter. However, Pakistan managed to pull things back when Junaid got a pass in the circle and deflected it into the post.
