Pakistan suffered another defeat in the Pro Hockey League, losing 7-3 to the Netherlands in their third match of the tournament in Santiago, Argentina.

 

The Netherlands dominated the match, scoring seven goals against Pakistan's three. Muhammad Sufyan Khan scored two goals for Pakistan while Rana Waheed Ashraf added one, but their efforts could not prevent the heavy defeat.

 

Pakistan will play its fourth match on December 15 against host nation Argentina.

 

Pakistan has now lost all three of its matches in the first phase of the Pro Hockey League. The team previously lost to host Argentina 3-2 in their second match, while their opening fixture saw the Netherlands defeat them 5-2.

 

The consistent losses have put Pakistan under pressure as they prepare to face Argentina next. The team will need to regroup and improve their performance to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the tournament.
