Clinical Pakistan Dominates New Zealand 4-0, Tops Pool D at Junior Hockey World Cup
In a clinical performance, Pakistan secured the top spot in Pool D by defeating New Zealand 4-0, despite the junior Black Sticks leading in match statistics.

Liaqat's skills extended Pakistan’s lead to 2-0 with a late first-half goal, and captain Hannan Shahid's deflection from a penalty corner further strengthened their position. Liaqat completed his hat-trick with a reverse strike in the final minutes, sealing the victory.
