A misfiring India squandered a golden opportunity to create history as they went down 3-4 against arch-rivals Pakistan in a high-voltage semifinal of the Champions Trophy tournament on Saturday.
Muhammad Arslan Qadir (17th minute, 59th) turned out to be the hero for Pakistan as he scored the winner just one minute from full time.
Pakistan's other scorers were Muhammad Waqas (32nd) and Muhammad Irfan (44th), while India's
struck through Gurjinder Singh (12), Dharamvir Singh (38) and Nikkin Thimmaiah (44). Pakistani players celebrated their victory by hurling indecent and obscene gestures towards the crowds and Indian media and were promptly rebuked by coach Shahnaz Shiekh.
It was a good chance for India to register their best-ever performance in the history of Champions Trophy but they couldn't achieve the feat and buckled under pressure.Â
