Pakistan edged closer to the final of the ongoing Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2024 with a 5-4 win over Canada on Wednesday in Ipoh, Malaysia.

Pakistan are unbeaten in the event, so far, and are at the top of the table with 10 points after four games.

Canada had taken a 2-0 lead within the first 17 mins to put Pakistan on the backfoot. However, the green shirts made a great comeback to win the match 5-4.

Abu Bakr Mahmood scored the first two goals for Pakistan to bring his side back in the game.

Arshad Liaqat, Rana Waheed Ashraf and Ghazanfar Ali also notched up one goal each for Pakistan.

Sean Davis scored a brace for Canada, meanwhile Harbir Sindhu and Avjot Buttar scored one each.  

If Japan beat Malaysia later today, then both Pakistan and Japan will qualify for the final of Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2024.  

Yesterday, Pakistan and Japan played out a 1-1 draw with the former scoring the equaliser in the dying minutes. 

Earlier, Pakistan defeated Korea 4-0 in a one-sided encounter in their second match on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Pakistan defeated Malaysia with a last-minute winner by Abu Bakr Mahmood on Saturday. The nine-goal thriller saw some of the best goals as the Green Shirts managed to emerge triumphant 5-4 after a long 60 minutes.

Pakistan’s next match is now against New Zealand on May 10 at the same venue.
