Talking about the decision, Charith Asalanka said: "We are going to bowl first. Looks overcast and also we lost 12 overs and that is the main reason. We expect the ball to move around early on. We have good plans, but execution will be the key."

His Opposite number, Mitchell Santner said: "We were going to bowl as well, get through the tough spell and cash in if you get a good start. With the dimensions, you can probably target one side, but this is the kind of wicket where you need to keep the wickets in hand and cash in later on. Sri Lanka are a great side and expect them to come out charging today. We got one change. Tom Latham comes in for Mitch Hay."

Ahmad Nadeem, standing right on the left edge of the goal mouth, found the ball from inside the D just in the sixth minute of the opening whistle. He was in the perfect position to execute a slight deflection into the Indian goal and that is what he did to push Pakistan ahead in the match.

The first quarter started off on a very strong note for South Korea as they displayed a very attacking brand of hockey. Jihun Yang also converted a penalty corner to give them the lead. 22fun
