  Here we analyse the low energy confining phase of the $2+1$ dimensional
quenched QCD-like theory in anisotropic non-supersymmetric D$2$ brane
background with the holographic approach. Two key features of QCD -- flux-tube
tension and mass spectrum of pseudoscalar glueball are studied. The
non-supersymmetric D$2$ branes with anisotropy in time direction are considered
as the gravity theory. Tuning the anisotropic parameter, we get the
Hawking-Page transition in the gravity background. On the dual theory, this
refers the confinement-deconfinement phase transition. Using the Wilson loop,
the linear confinement at this regime is effectively confirmed by calculating
the flux tube tension $\sigma$ from the Nambu-Goto action of a test string with
its endpoints located at the boundary. In the next part, we have illustrated
numerically the mass spectrum $M_{0^{-+}}$ of the pseudoscalar glueball states.
We have found, at the transition point, that the glueball mass becomes
trivially small. Finally we relate the anisotropy parameter with the
temperature and show the variation of the glueball mass at various temperature.
Using the Lattice QCD data of $\sqrt{\sigma}$, it is found that
$M_{0^{-+}}=2.3$GeV and $M_{0^{-+}}^*=3.8$GeV at $T=0$ whereas
$M_{0^{-+}}=0.9$GeV and $M_{0^{-+}}^*=1.1$GeV at $T=T_c$.
