Australia handed Pakistan a 6-1 drubbing in their second match of the Hockey World League Semi-Finals on Wednesday, making the prospects of Rio 2016 much tougher for the Greenshirts.

The result puts the mighty Kookaburras onto six points in the Pool A, drawing alongside India and moving three clear of the famous Greenshirts.

As expected, the match was packed full of action and incredible skills, with Pakistan giving the world number 1 ranked team a real run for their money in the opening two quarters.

The Australians took the lead when Jacob Whetton finished off brilliant team move in the 9th minute, but five minutes later Pakistan restored parity thanks to a Mohammad Irfan penalty corner.
