LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Mar, 2017 ) : Pakistan opened its tour of Australia on a demoralizing note suffering 1-6 defeat at the hand of the home side at the Marrara hockey stadium in Darwin, the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory on Tuesday.
It was the first encounter of the 4-test hockey series between world's top side Australia and the 14th ranked Pakistan, said the information made available to APP here. The gulf in the rankings showed in the game as the Aussies dominated the proceedings most of the time and defeated Pakistan by the tennis score after leading 2-0 at half time.
