After four India vs Pakistan cricket matches in the last one month, another Indo-Pak clash is set to take the centre-stage on Tuesday when the arch-rivals face in the Sultan of Johor Cup 2025 in Malaysia at the at the Taman Daya Hockey Stadium in Johor Bahru. The Sultan of Johor Cup is an annual U-21 hockey tournament.
Under the watchful eyes of legendary PR Sreejesh, the Indian team have so far been unbeaten with wins over Great Britain and New Zealand. While the Indian colts won 3-2 against Great Britain, the Boys in Blue dismantled the Black Sticks 4-2. On the other hand, Pakistan started with a 7-2 hammering of Malaysia before stumbling to a 1-5 loss to Great Britain.
India are currently leading the points table with six points, while Pakistan are placed fourth. Australia and Great Britain are placed second and third respectively. Malaysia and New Zealand take the fifth and sixth spots.
Just like the no handshake drama during the Indian vs Pakistan cricket matches in the Asia Cup 2025, a similar incident is likely to take place in Malaysia with the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) advising their players to be mentally prepared. “The players have been told that if the Indian players don’t shake hands before or after the match, just ignore the gesture and move on. They have also been told to avoid any emotional tussles or signs during the game,” news agency PTI quoted a PHF as saying.
Unfortunately, no television channel in India will telecast the India vs Pakistan Sultan of Johor Cup 2025 tournament. But fans can still catch the live streaming of India vs Pakistan on Ashley Morrison Media YouTube Channel in India.
