Despite being the team to beat, India did lack the finishing touch but yet found goals in crucial periods to beat Pakistan 3-1 and top Pool 'A' for an all-win record in the Asia Cup here at Dhaka. The favourites tag sat lightly on the Indian side. Yet domination wasn't fetching the results. After a barren first quarter, India scored through Chinglensana (17th), Ramandeep Singh (44th) and Harpreet Singh (45th). Pakistan's response came off an Indian error in the 49th minute. India now has nine points and with Pakistan are in the Super 4 where it will be a round robin between four teams – India, Pakistan, South Korea and Malaysia. The top two will go to the final while the remaining two play for the bronze.
