Goal Scored - Rupinder Pal Singh (IND) 9' PC, 54' PC and 56' PC and James Tindall (GBR) 62'

Pakistan bt South Korea 4-2
Australia bt Malaysia 2-1

At half-time we were leading 1-0 with goal through penalty corner conversion from Rupinder Pal Singh in 9th mins ... As usual we struggled in the defense, in the first half Great Britain earned 4 penalty corners and we earned 2 ... In second half we started offensively and managed to put pressure on British defense ... India earned 3 PCs in 10 mins and Rupinder Pal Singh converted 2 of them ... This was his first international hat-trick ... He converted 4th and 5th PCs in 54th and 56th mins ... After 3-0 lead our defense relaxed and British forward line take advantage scoring field goal through James Tindall in 62nd min ... It looks we played very good offensive hockey first 25 mins of the second-half.

After taking 3-0 lead we take usual rout of defending so in last 10 min Britishers were continuously attacking ... James Tindall missed easy chance in 64th min ... These r typical silly mistakes by Indian coaches over the years, over-defending ... Such silly mistakes cost us matches previously and we r still repeating those.
