Pakistan went ahead in the second minute of the game after Indian defence conceded an easy penalty corner ... After conceding an early goal to Pakistan, India's young forwarder Yuvraj Walmiki scored the equaliser in the 26th minute ... In this match Indian forward-line missed many chances ... Other hand Sandeep Singh also failed to convert all penalty corners, total 6 ... Nobbs was upset with our conversion rate.


Michael Nobbs (Indian Coach) - "This match was a let down by our forwards. I have to seriously think on our forwards. This type of wasting is not expected from them. If we make moves and the players won't send them to the net, its all waster of effort. I have to take drastic steps to streamline our forwardline"
