BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan have finally reaped some positive results on the second day of the Commonwealth Games 2022.

Pakistan's featherweight boxer Ilyas Hussain managed to secure a win after his compatriot Suleman Baloch lost to India's Shiva Thappa on 29 July.

Ilyas trounced Lesotho's Moroke Mokhoto after just 2 minutes and 55 seconds into the game, confirming his spot in the next round of the event.

Whereas, Pakistan's Amna Fayaz competed in the Women's Singles Round of 32 against Malaysia's Rachel Arnold. However, she lost in three straight sets as Rachel dominated Amna, winning the clash 11-3, 11-2, and 11-5.

In another round of 32 match, Faiza Zafar locked horns with Malaysia's Yiwen Chan. Yiwen was sharp throughout the match as she beat Faiza by 11-3, 11-6, and 11-5 to knock her out of the event.

Meanwhile, in Men's Singles, two Pakistani squash players, Tayyab Aslam and Nasir Iqbal clashed with each other. Nasir got the better of his compatriot Tayyab as retired due to an injury, ending the match with the score of 5-11, 3-9, advancing to the round of 16.

Medal highlights

09:00-12:00 and 14:30-17:30 - Gymnastics - men's (09:00) and women's (14:30) individual all-around finals, where the gymnasts must perform on all sets of apparatus and the best combined score wins.

Women's 2018 champion Ellie Black is not in this year's Canada team, offering Australia's Georgia Godwin and England's Alice Kinsella the chance to upgrade their respective silver and bronze medals from the Gold Coast, though watch out also for England's 18-year-old Ondine Achampong.

Commonwealth debutant Jake Jarman and 2018 all-around silver medallist James Hall, who helped England to team gold on Friday, were the two highest-scoring gymnasts in qualification.

11:00-16:20 - Triathlon hands out its final three sets of medals, beginning with the PTVI races featuring athletes who have visual impairments. Scotland's Alison Peasgood, a Rio Paralympic silver medallist in 2016, is reunited with guide Hazel MacLeod, herself a reserve for Scotland's Commonwealth Games triathlon team in 2014.

In the men's PTVI race, sprint swimmer turned four-time Para-triathlon world champion Dave Ellis is a favourite for England.

14:30 - Mixed team relay - Great Britain soared to a magnificent gold on its Olympic debut in Tokyo last year. Only two of that team are competing for England after Jonny Brownlee and Jess Learmonth were ruled out with injury. However, in Alex Yee and Georgia Taylor-Brown they have individual Commonwealth gold and silver medallists respectively. Australia are the defending champions, while any team with individual silver medallist Hayden Wilde in it has a chance - so look out for New Zealand. Scotland's team will be headed by Beth Potter who is having a breakthrough season and took bronze on Friday, while Wales' quartet contains former world champion Non Stanford.

15:00-19:00 - Track cycling - Laura Kenny, who won team pursuit bronze on Friday, goes for gold in the women's 25km points race at 15:53 while England team-mate Matt Walls, the Olympic omnium champion, will fancy his chances in the men's scratch race at 18:42. Both races reward riders for getting out ahead of the field and both build to a dramatic climax. Defending champion Elinor Barker, who welcomed son Nico in March, opted to return to the Wales team on the road instead and Katie Archibald is absent from the Scotland team through injury.

Elsewhere, Scotland's Jack Carlin will be going for sprint gold while Wales' James Ball and Scotland's Neil Fachie look set for a close contest in the men's tandem B sprint while there are strong home hopes in the women's tandem 1,000m time trial. Scotland's Aileen McGlynn and pilot Ellie Stone won silver in Friday's Para tandem sprint but fellow Scot Libby Clegg missed out on a medal as did England's Sophie Unwin and pilot Georgia Holt in controversial circumstances.

19:00-21:50 - Swimming - English eyes will be on the men's 100m breaststroke final, where three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty seems to have fully recovered from a broken foot as he bids to defend his Commonwealth title (20:51).

Another day at the pool, another butterfly final, and another Chad le Clos medal opportunity for South Africa. This time it's over 200m. It's another event he won four years ago. Le Clos' team-mate Tatjana Schoenmaker will then try to hold off England's Molly Renshaw and Abbie Wood in the women's 200m breaststroke, which she won at Tokyo 2020.

For Wales, Lily Rice has a shot at gold in the women's S8 100m backstroke and Medi Harris will look to upset world record-holder Kaylee McKeown of Australia and Canada's Kylie Masse in the women's 100m backstroke.

18:00-22:00 - Rugby sevens concludes in Coventry with the men's and women's finals at 20:38 and 21:04. Fiji face Australia in the women's final. In the men's event, Fiji play New Zealand in the first semi-final (12:42) before Australia take on South Africa (13:04)

What else is happening?

England's 2018 weightlifting silver medallist Jack Oliver and up-and-coming Welshman Michael Farmer take on young Indian star Achinta Sheuli in the men's 73kg class. Watch out for African record-setter Rafiatu Folashade Lawal of Nigeria in the women's 59kg.

At 11:00, one of the highest profile fixtures on any cricket calendar takes place - India face Pakistan in a group-stage game before world champions Australia, who overcame India in their opening match but had a big scare, face Barbados.

England's men play Wales at 14:00 in hockey's group stages, while Scotland's men, ranked 19th in the world, have a tough task against world number one side Australia from 09:00. England face Canada in the women's tournament at 19:00.

In beach volleyball, Scotland's women take on Vanuatu in a group game at 15:30. Lynne Beattie, 36, and Melissa Coutts, 51, have a combined age of 87 but that brings a wealth of experience. They reached the quarters in 2018 and Beattie captained Great Britain's indoor volleyball team at the 2012 Olympics. The 2018 Games marked the first time in Commonwealth history that Vanuatu won medals as they collected two bronzes, firstly in F46 javelin and then in beach volleyball as Miller Pata and then partner Linline Matauatu made the podium. Pata is now with Tini Tok. England pair Jess Grimson 31, and Daisy Mumby, 30, face Solomon Islands at 20:00.

Table tennis has the men's team quarter-finals at 09:30 and Wales are in the women's team semi-finals from 16:00 after beating England in the last eight on Saturday.

Lawn bowls reaches the quarter-final stages for men's triples, men's fours, men's pairs and women's singles from 15:00.

He was up against England's Willstrop, who was making his 200th cap for England, becoming the highest capped English squash player of all time.

Ghana vs Canada Match of the tournament in Mens Hockey

However Ghana was on the verge of victory with literally the last second the umpire called a penalty stroke in favor of Canada. We almost witness History, as Ghana was holding onto, a 1-0 lead, at the very end a penalty stroke is what changed a victory to a draw.

However Ghana have so much to be proud, and goalkeeper Offei Tyche was really the man of match, and really should be rewarded his performance was outstanding. Ghana Coach Ghanzafar Ali, who is Pakistani former olympian and Pakistan captain, should be really proud of his team, he was ready to celebrate until the umpire made the huge call.

Drama indeed.

Canada should be disappointed, this should have been a match they were suspected to win.

KARACHI: Pakistani boxer Zohaib Rasheed was forced to miss the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022 after the technical delegates of boxing competition did not include his name in the draws of the competition.

The matter first came to notice when draws for the competition were announced and Zohaib’s name was missing from flyweight category draws.

According to Pakistan Boxing Federation (PBF) sources, when this was brought to the notice of the organizing committee, the Pakistan Boxing contingent was informed that it was due to a mistake.

However, despite dragging the matter for three days, the mistake was not corrected and on the day of competition, the organizing committee told the Pakistani management that the boxer can not be accommodated.

"This is very frustrating and disappointing, this is mental torture to the player who was in uncertainty for three days due to someone else’s error," said Col Nasir Tung, secretary of PBF.

"They’ve done injustice to our player and we are not going to stay silent on this issue," he added.

The secretary of boxing federation announced that Pakistan will not only write to IBA, CWG Federation but it will also seek damages from the organizers through the international court of arbitration for sports.

BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan's Shajjar Abbas failed to qualify for the next round of the Men's 100m event in the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022.

Shajjar contested in heat 8 of the event. The young Pakistani sprinter clocked 10.38s, which is his personal best, but wasn't enough to get through the next round.

He finished 20th among 63 sprinters who took part in the event.

Remember, Shajjar was one of the hopes of Pakistan to win medal in the mega event. Shajjar recently bagged gold medal in Iran's Imam Reza Cup, a gold in 200m and bronze in 200m in World Continental Championship that was held in Kazakhstan.

Pakistan's contingent is still waiting to win their maiden medal in the ongoing multi-sports event.

As many as 68 athletes are participating in the event. So far, Pakistani athletes failed to make their presence felt.

From Pakistan women's cricket team to men's hockey team, the Green Shirts are facing back-to-back setbacks.

Did any fighters from Pakistan qualify for any of the Boxing events

BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan's quarter-finalist in Men’s Over 54kg- 57kg (Featherweight), Ilyas Hussain is confident to win a maiden medal for Pakistan at Commonwealth Games 2022.

After winning his fight in Round of 16 against Anthony Shawn Joseph of Trinidad, Ilyas talked to Geo News and expressed high hopes for winning in a knock-out match.

"Congratulations to the whole of Pakistan. Also, I am thankful to each and everyone for their support. People prayed for me and Allah gave me success," the young boxer said.

"I am fully prepared and confident to win a medal for Pakistan," added Ilyas who will face England's Jude Gallagher in the quart-final on August 3.

While talking about his experience of participating in the Commonwealth Games, Ilyas said it was his first international tour and he is enjoying it a lot.

"This is my first international tour. I am enjoying in Commonwealth Games as all the participants here are tough. I am learning a lot," the 22-years-old boxer said.

Ilyas is the last hope of Pakistan for medal in the boxing event of the Commonwealth Games 2022.
 
Pakistani Women Boxer Mehreen has lost Bout Against Muthuthanthri Sajeewani Coorey(Srilanka) Today by 5-0 in Weight Category 57Kg.
 
Pakistan’s star Javelin Thrower Arshad Nadeem has directly qualified for the final of the ongoing Commonwealth Games.

Earlier, Nadeem was set to feature in the qualifying round on August 5 before the final on August 7.

However, the event organisers decided against holding the qualifying round due to low number of athletes.

“This happens sometimes that the athletes withdraw from the event and so the decreased number of athletes becomes the cause of not playing the qualifying round,” Nadeem’s physician and Pakistan Olympic Association medical committee member Dr Asad Abbas told The Express Tribune.

Speaking about Nadeem’s chances of winning a medal, Abbas said that it depends on the nature of his elbow and knee injury.

“It depends on the day, how he is doing and if the pain is relieved, but he can bag a medal. He has all the potential and if he was a 100 percent fit, he would be at the top. I am working with him each day, bracing, taping him, doing his physiotherapy, so far he is 80 to 85 percent better than before,” he said.

Nadeem, who won a Gold Medal at the 2018 Asian Games, finished in fifth place in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and this year’s World Athletics Championship.
