Johor Bahru (Malaysia): After clinching two successive victories at the Sultan Johor Cup Hockey Tournament, India dropped their first points after they were held to a goalless draw by arch-rivals Pakistan here on Wednesday.

The match was action filled one as there were many chances created, but poor finishing upfront let the teams down.

India should have scored in the 46th after Prabhdeep Singh hit the post in the 46th minute.

India will next take on New Zealand tomorrow before locking horn against hosts Malaysia in their last league match on Saturday.

India now lead the points table with seven points while Pakistan are lying at the bottom of the table.
