Pakistan men's hockey team was ousted from the run to the semifinals at the Commonwealth Games 2018 hockey tournament after England and India beat Wales and Malaysia respectively on Tuesday.
With their latest victories, England and India rule the Pool B's chart with seven points each in the Commonwealth Games 2018 being played in the Gold Coast, Australia.
Meanwhile, New Zealand and Australia have qualified for the semifinal from men's Pool A with nine points each.

Congratulations!
Better luck next time...
Win again Malaysia feels like REAL victory.
This is a game, take it as a game only.
Congratulations, India !
India has done very well this year at CWG. Currently in overall 3rd place with only England and Australia having a higher medal and points tally.
Well done green-shirts. Keep it up and hang on tough. Your on- -the field performance is far better than before. With faith, dedication, unity, hardwork and discipline, you can perform even better. Good luck to you all.
@Wahab With little focus, even Pakistan can also do. We are no different. Born in the same motherland.
Why compare Pakistan with India?
Once upon a time Pakistan were World Champions. Today the mind set is on a different ideology.
Well fought Green Shirts .Better luck next time
Australians are hard to beat. They will reach final
India at best winning 11 gold and at 3rd place.
The semi finals cannot take place on April the 11th.
Inshallah next time champion
Shameful
Great. In the medals table we have won TWO BRONZE medals. Congratulations. We are not at the bottom.
Given the step motherly treatment of our hockey players both by the Government and the public at large,still the boys have done well.Why cricket players receive so much attention and glamour,why not hockey players? They are not even invited to promote the products.Money wise I think they are paid just keep their body and soul together.Also hockey greats like Islahuddin,Samiullh,Hasan Sardar are not interested in promoting the cause of Hockey.Hockey deserves the nation's attention.
Pakistan was unbeatable at one time and now it just makes me blame the leadership running Pakistan not investing in Hockey by creating Hockey leagues and international standard stadiums in all towns. While other countries coming from nothing have won trophies due to investment in sports.
I think we should atleast give credit to the team for putting a vigorous fight this time. Something is better than nothing.
I hope for the revival of Pakistan Hockey and the frequent Indo-Pak encounters which is worth a watch. Best of luck.Pakistan.
Wow
Good showing, unlucky not to have qualified for play offs.
All the draws felt like a win... Congratulations...
India tops the group by beating england
Pakistan hockey has long way to go .However they are improving
I miss the old style attacking, dribbling, artful hockey that both India and Pakistan were so good at, in the days of natural turf.
