India have beaten the defending champions and now zoom to the top of the group standings.
Pardeep, Rupinder and Ramandeep getting on the board for the blue jerseys in what was expected to be a high tension game. The commentators though announce the score and deflate the ‘high-tension’ predictions. “The Pakistani fans just gave the Indian team a huge ovation when they walked to their side of the stadium during the victory lap”
Five minutes left in the game and India have a 3-2 lead. Can they hold on?
Fun Fact: Pakistan are without their captain and senior most player Mohammad Imran because he sent his passport to the UK consulate for a visa, and didn't get it back in time to travel to Malaysia.
Two Goals in a Minute!
Rupinder Pal Singh gets the crowd on their feet. India are level at 2-2 in the 43rd minute after ‘Bob’ scores his seventh goal of the tournament - off a penalty corner.
...but just as the stadium (and the team) settled down with their celebrations - India got a third goal added to their tally. Ramaneep Singh scoring his third goal, in as many matches, off a field goal.
3-2 at the end of the third quarter
Pakistan Equalise
The Indian defense slips and Pakistan weren't going to miss the shot.
Muhammad Rizwan Sr. starts the third quarter by beating Sreejesh for the first time in the match.
