The first half saw no goals despite a number of circle penetrations. UWHA failed to avail two penalty corners. But Punjab Whites converted their first and only PC. In the 36th minute, Pakistan’s ace PC expert Ishrat Abbas’s forceful hit sounded the board.

They had chances and also earned two more penalty corners but the Punjab Whites deep defence stood well; custodian Syeda Sadia was in great form. Punjab players who were good on turn overs, made it 2-0 with just one minute to go. Some good passing saw Areeba Sarwar flick in from a close range.
