As it happened: India vs Pakistan, Champions Trophy Semi-final

Bhubaneswar hasn't seen anything as big as this - India vs Pakistan in one of the elite international hockey tournaments - FIH Men's Champions Trophy.

PREVIEW: India have never been in a Champions Trophy final, and a win on Saturday will not only assure them a second medal in the tournament's 36-year history but also a shot at their maiden title. India won bronze in 1982, beating Pakistan 5-4, but lost the third-match playoff to their archrivals four times after that.

"This team can create history," Oltmans said on the eve of the match. "We want to show the world that we are right up there with the very best," the Dutchman added. "We hope to execute our strategies and keep emotions in check."
