00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone, welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb Al-Hasnain.
00:04Let's start the program with the Champions Cup, which is Pakistan's premium one-day tournament.
00:09Basically, it is a search for talent.
00:13As the chairman has said, we need backup.
00:16All the superstars are playing.
00:18The fans in Faisalabad are very excited.
00:24The Champions Cup has started. Let's show you the details in this report.
00:29Our representative Kamar Zaman is with us from Faisalabad.
00:32Kamar, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:36Kamar, can you hear me?
00:41Yes, absolutely.
00:42Just a while ago, the match between Markhor and Panthers was played in Iqbal Stadium.
00:48A large number of fans are present in the stadium.
00:51More fans are coming here.
00:53A while ago, Markhor's Kamran scored 88 runs.
00:58Mohd. Rizwan was playing with him.
01:0135 overs were played.
01:03The score was about 190.
01:05Two players are out.
01:07A large number of citizens are present in all the enclosures.
01:12The first 10 days will be free in all the general enclosures and first class enclosures.
01:19There will be no ticket fees.
01:22There will be fees for some other enclosures.
01:25If we talk about security,
01:27around 3,000 police officers and officers have been assigned here.
01:31Around 250 traffic wardens have been assigned all over Iqbal Stadium.
01:36Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi has also arrived.
01:38A while ago, he also presided over the PCB's governing body meeting.
01:44He has also been briefed.
01:46PCB has been advised to take Iqbal Stadium under its own control
01:52and to make it an international stadium
01:56so that international cricket can be played here again.
02:00He has also been advised to include the Champions Cup in the PCB's regular schedule
02:09so that the Champions Cup is played here every year on a regular basis.
02:13Thank you very much, Qamar Zaman.
02:16He has given us all the details.
02:18The update is that Kamran Ghulam and Mohammad Rizwan are present on the wicket.
02:23Kamran is around 100.
02:25Mohammad Rizwan, who is also the captain of Markhor, is around 50.
02:31It's a good start to the Champions Cup.
02:33The Panthers won the toss and decided to field.
02:36This situation is going on in terms of the match.
02:39The people of Faisalabad are very excited about the Champions Cup.
02:43It's been a long time since such a big event took place there.
02:47Let's see what the fans have to say about the Cup.
02:51Thank you very much for the matches.
02:53Let's hope Faisalabad gets a chance to come and watch the matches.
02:58It's great.
02:59It's the first time a Pakistani player has come here.
03:02It's great.
03:03It's a great tournament.
03:04I have been advised to come to Iqbal Stadium every year.
03:06My favourite team is the Delhi Indians.
03:07I am a big fan of Babu Azam.
03:08It's a lot of fun.
03:09Babu Azam is also very good.
03:10I also like Haseem Shah.
03:11We will support him.
03:12We have come a long way from Faisalabad to see Mohammad Rizwan.
03:16The most exciting team I can see in this is the team of the Stallions.
03:21They have a lot of big names.
03:24There are some players who can become stars for Pakistan in the future.
03:29Tayyab Tahir is a very talented player who represents the Stallions.
03:33He is with us right now.
03:34Let's talk to him.
03:35Tayyab, you have become a part of the Champions Cup on the basis of your performance.
03:41What do you think is the importance of this event for young players?
03:48First of all, this is the biggest tournament in Pakistan.
03:53The importance of this is that the championship is coming up.
03:57For that, Pakistan needs a lot of players in the team.
04:02There is a good chance for all the middle order players.
04:06Especially whoever does well will have a good chance in the future.
04:09Tayyab is with us.
04:10Let's take a break.
04:11Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
04:13As you know, the match between Markhor and Panthers is still going on.
04:17Let's move quickly from cricket to hockey.
04:19It's been a long time since I've been so happy.
04:21Just like the Pakistan hockey team is playing in the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy.
04:25Continuous second success.
04:27We have defeated China by 5-1.
04:30We have also made a place in the semi-finals.
04:32Let's show you the details in this report.
04:34Imran Butt is with us to talk to us.
04:36Imran, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
04:38Walaikum-as-salam.
04:40As I said, I am very happy that the Pakistan hockey team is doing well.
04:44They have been doing a great job so far.
04:46They have also defeated China by 5-1.
04:49What do you think?
04:51I think Pakistan could have won against Malaysia.
04:55Due to draw, unfortunately Pakistan lost.
04:58Pakistan took the lead against Korea.
05:01Unfortunately, Pakistan drew.
05:03But it's a good sign that Pakistan came first to Japan.
05:07And then Pakistan led China well.
05:11Because China is coming 3-0 against India.
05:14And Korea wins close to 4-0.
05:17So I think Pakistan's confidence and performance are improving day by day.
05:22And obviously, the biggest thing is that they have won the match.
05:26And the way they are polishing the team,
05:29I hope that the Pakistan team will perform well in the next match against India.
05:35And will fight well.
05:36Okay, let's talk about the match against India.
05:38I have also noted this thing.
05:40If you could explain it to us.
05:42Our match against Malaysia and Korea was a winning match.
05:48Was there pressure on the players?
05:50What mistakes were made there?
05:52Look, the first thing is that there should be no pressure.
05:55Whenever you click on the short corner,
05:58The teams of Pakistan,
06:00In which you take Korea, you take Japan, you take China, you take Malaysia.
06:05They have always struggled in the short corner defense.
06:08Their goalkeepers also struggle.
06:10If you look at them overall, they are better structurally.
06:13And they give you less open chances.
06:15So I think Pakistan had a very good movement in the 3rd half.
06:20And the opportunity that Pakistan gave, they availed it.
06:23And if you look at the other matches,
06:25Pakistan used the same chance to fail.
06:28They made short corners, they made some.
06:30They could not utilize them.
06:32Because of which you were on the draw side.
06:34And where I can see, Pakistan and Korea will play the semifinals.
06:38If Pakistan beats India, then there is a better chance for Pakistan.
06:42Because I can see the semifinals of Pakistan with Korea.
06:46Okay, tell me that the next match against India,
06:50We have seen that in recent times, we have come under a lot of pressure.
06:54With that big match.
06:55So what should be the strategy?
06:57Look, India's last victory against India is in the Champions Cup.
07:01In 2014, we defeated India in India.
07:04After that, after going from North India, we were in the Commonwealth Games.
07:08After that, I don't remember if Pakistan has beaten India.
07:11I think India will play under pressure.
07:14Because it has played a level against Asia.
07:18Pakistan should play with an open mind.
07:20It is a game of nerves.
07:21And I don't think there will be any plans after the first quarter.
07:25You will see true Asian hockey.
07:27But the confidence that will fail and the chances that will fail.
07:31And that will be the match.
07:33Thank you very much, Imran Ishaq.
07:35And he has to say that the next game is a game of nerves.
07:37The way Pakistan is playing, confidence is increasing day by day.
07:40That's all for today's program.
07:42Allow your host, Najeeb Ullah Hussain.
07:44Take good care of yourself. Allah Hafiz.
