Jakarta: India and Pakistan find themselves in a place where neither wanted to be. They face each other in the bronze medal men’s hockey match at the 2018 Asian Games on Saturday.
The scene could not be further from what happened just four years ago, when the two sides had met in the final at Incheon and that too after a gap of 24 years. It was India who prevailed walked away with the gold after a nail-biting shootout.
Pakistan has the most number of gold medals in Asiad history with eight, whereas India have three gold medals, and the two neighbouring countries have a total 14 medals.
