India vs Pakistan Hockey Highlights, Asian Games SF: Abhishek scores winner in dying moments as India beat Pakistan 4-3

What a moment! Abhishek provides the star-turn. With seconds to go on the clock, he comes to India's aid. What a goal. What a player. When India and Pakistan play hockey, it's next level experience. India win 4-3. The second semifinal is going to start soon between Malaysia and Republic of Korea. The winner of that match will play India in the final on October 3.

Pakistan go for a video referral. Let's see what happens. Successful referral. Indians disappointed.

India continue to struggle against the rampant Pakistanis. Just like that the complexion of the match has changed in favour of Pakistan. As a neutral, you would really love this game. Another Pakistan attack but Suraj comes to India's rescue on a counter-attack.

India were leading 3-0 at one time. And just like that, now it's 3-3. Misery continues for the Indians as Pakistan earn a PC. India go for video referral. Turned down. Sufyan denied. Good stuff from Rohidas. India breathe a sigh of relief.

Waheed Rana make it 3-3. What a comeback! Indians are stunned. Pakistan's second goal in four minutes. Indians now change their goalkeeper. Are they panicked? It appears so.

Anyway, the match is living up to its billing. India vs Pakistan are always high-octane and and always fun.

India have continued to dominate but Pakistan score twice. Indians need to change their strategy. They have been defensive since their 3-0 lead and Pakistan have punished them for being so. Can India find their mojo back? They have to, they have no other option.

Yellow for Butt. Green for Dilpreet. Not exactly the same thing. Under two minutes to go in the penultimate quarter. These 15 minutes have turned out just the way India wanted them to be. They should play pretty much the same way in the second quarter. Wait, Pakistan score again! It's Hannan Shahid in the dying moments of the third quarter. Indians are stunned. Just what we had warned India of earlier. It's Pakistan after all. India 3-2 Pakistan

Just as we wrote that, Butt gets a yellow card. For an aggressive tackle. This can cost Pakistan dear. India have been less aggressive in this quarter. Which is kind of understandable. They are slowing the game down but Pakistan not trying enough is a bit unfathomable. Lovely field goal.

India need to be a bit careful. Now that Pakistan have got one goal. They are very much capable of scoring more. Very early into the quarter, India have penetrated the circle twice.

India playing their best hockey against their arch-rivals. Just as we write that, there is a PC for Pakistan. Can they pull one back? Dilpreet at fault. But Pakistan can't take advantage of the opportunity. One more for Pakistan in the dying moments of the quarter. Let's see what happens. They pull one back through Abu Mahmood! India 3-1 Pakistan

Lovely work from Lakra from the left. Lovely pass to Sukhjeet in front of goal and he does what he is expected to do. India 3 Pakistan 0. The match is slowing running away from Pakistan, if truth be told.

Early into the second quarter. They have really messed it up. It couldn't even be stopped. Very poor stuff from Pakistan. In such a game, such faux pas don't make for good viewing.

India 7 PC, Pakistan 3. Ball possession: India 58%. India have more circle penetration too. India 7, Pakistan 3. The second quarter gets underway.

The two goals from Harmanpreet Singh has increased his tally to 10 goals. Those goals helped India cross the 50-goal mark in the tournament. They now have 51 goals, the most in the tournament. Second best is Japan with 38.

It's captain Harmanpreet Singh again via a penalty corner. Fiercely struck. India are in total control now. Less than a minute to go in the first quarter. Just the type of quarter India needed in this high-octane game. Penalty corner for Pakistan. Can they pull one back? Sufyan denied. Retake. Another retake. He shoots wide. Threat blows over. With that the first quarter comes to an end. India leading 2-0

Penalty corner for India after Moin Shakeel errs. Pakistan not taking a referral this time. But what a beautiful long ball from Harmanpreet and well received by Jermanpreet.

India can't tuck that in, and Pakistan survives.

India 1-0 Pakistan, Q1

Pakistan call for a referral. Beautiful pass from Vivek and what a narrow-angle shot from Dilpreet. That snuck right through the pads and into the goal…but the umpire says WAIT!

The verdict arrives. It was the backstick. Unfortunate for Dilpreet.

India 1-0 Pakistan, Q1

Fifth PC in the first five minutes of the match. And Harmanpreet gets fifth time lucky. Poor defense from Pakistan cost the PC and the captain…what a drag-flick. You could see the sheer power. Mahmood could not stop it this time. India lead 1-0

First PC for India and a big moment for India and Harmanpreet, who has been in blistering form. Blocked by Abu Mahmood. Second PC for India, and once again raised off by Mahmood. Review taken! And a third PC for India. Deflected and India get fourth on the trot. No luck again for Harmanpreet

India 0-0 Pakistan, Q1

Dangerous moment for India's defense as Pakistan launch a counter-attack, but great save from the goalkeeper.

India 0-0 Pakista, Q1

India, four-time champions, up against the most prolific team in Asia history. Are we expecting the same result yet again?

Match gets underway.

Players make their way onto the turf. Mandeep Singh gets felicitated for his 300th international cap.

Both teams have lined-up for the national anthems. India go first, followed by Pakistan

India will be without midfielder Raj Kumar Pal, who has been ruled out after sustaining a left thumb fracture during the team's last pool match against Bangladesh. Travelling reserve Nilakanta Sharma has been brought into the squad as his replacement

Pakistan’s scoring hopes will be led by drag-flick specialist Sufiyan Khan, who has been prolific from penalty-corner situations and currently tops the tournament scoring charts with 11 goals
