Pakistan 4 New Zealand 2

PAKISTAN got off to a rousing start by beating New Zealand 4-2, but their team manager Khawaja Junaid was far from satisfied with their penalty corner conversions.
The Asian Games gold medallists won five penalty corners, but only converted one and that too off a rebound by Kashif Shah in the 24th minute.
"I am happy with the way my juniors clicked with the seniors, but there is cause for worry because we won five penalty coreners but could only convert one.
"Pakistan have always been strong in the penalty corner department, and it looks like we will have to work on it further to collect points in the remaining matches," said Khawaja.
Sohail Abbas, who scored one goal when Pakistan defeated Malaysia in the Asian Games final, could not find his touch against the Kiwis.
Sohail holds the world record of 313 goals in 259 matches, and could provide the spark that Pakistan needs to lift the Azlan Shah Cup in 2004.
Pakistan also did the unthinkable, as they broke the Kiwi four-match winning streak against them in the fifth match yesterday.
The other Pakistan goals were scored by Muhammad Rizwan (third), Haseem Khan (51st), Umar Bhutta (61st).
The New Zealand goals were scored by Andrew Hayward (59th) and Hugo Inglis (63rd).
