Pakistan volleyball captain criticises Asian Games logistics after another win; hockey side thrash Oman

Pakistan volleyball captain Murad Jehan expressed frustration over logistical issues at the Asian Games on Monday. His team was directed to the wrong gymnasium for their Pool 'A' match against Uzbekistan, leaving them with little time to prepare. In a video posted on Instagram, Murad called the situation an "embarrassing" mismanagement, attributing the problem to their bus driver's confusion.

Despite the disruption, Pakistan secured a victory over Uzbekistan with a score of 25-18, 25-18, 25-20. The hockey team continued their strong performance with a 7-2 win over Oman, reinforcing their medal aspirations. Squash teams also began their campaigns with victories, while the shooting team faced disappointment with Rabia Kabir's 33rd-place finish in the women's 25m pistol.
