MANCHESTER, Aug 2: New Zealand defeated Pakistan for the first time to cruise into the Commonwealth Games men’s hockey final with a stunning 7-1 upset here on Friday.
The Kiwis scored twice in the first three minutes to spark a brilliant display against the lethagic Pakistanis in what turned out a surprisingly one-sided semi-final.
In the previous 27 matches between the two teams, Pakistan had won 24 while the other three were drawn.
