Pakistan’s chief selector Samiullah Khan says Pakistan can hold arch-rivals India to a draw in their FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup match on August 19. Both reports attribute the statement to Khan and frame the upcoming clash as important for Pakistan’s progress in the tournament. Khan links the result to Pakistan’s need to move beyond the first-round pool stage, suggesting that securing at least a point against India could help the team advance. The outlets present the comment as a strategic assessment rather than a guarantee, emphasizing the idea of a draw as a viable outcome in the context of the pool competition. The match date and the tournament stage are consistently cited, with both sources referring to the same chief selector and the same opponent. No additional performance details, team selections, or match forecasts are provided beyond the expectation that Pakistan can manage the game to reach a draw.
