India squander 3-0 lead at half-time to draw against Pakistan in very heated match ... In the closing stages of the match, a hard tackle by an Indian player resulted in a scuffle between the two teams ... Match was stopped one minute and 35 seconds before the end of regulation time due to ugly incidents on the field involving players of both sides ... The incident forced the match to be stopped for about half-an-hour ... Even though the two teams returned to the turf later, they agreed not to resume the match.

In the beginning India were clearly the better side in the first half with numerous attacks on the Pakistani goals ... Khandkar gave early lead before Mujtaba and Rupinder increased it ... In the second half Pakistan bounced back in style as veteran Abbas scored 2 goals before their captain scored equalizer.
