WR #11 India started with upset win over WR #4 England in Men's Champions Trophy ... Indians scored couple of acrobatic goals and one indirect penalty corner conversion.
England take early lead after converting 1st penalty corner through Richard Smith ... After that British goalkeeper Pinner made excellent save on Indian penalty corner ... Danish Mujtaba scored excellent acrobatic goal to equalized ... In the second half rain started and Indians were looking better team ... Yuvraj Walmiki scored amazing acrobatic goal and gave lead to India ... England wasted 3 penalty corners but Indians converted their 3rd penalty corner ... Indians take indirect penalty corner and on Sardar Singh's hit Gurwinder Singh Chandi tapped from front of the goal to secure victory.
Overall better play but still some worrying signs like; our clearance from the D weren't good enough, many times our players kept dribbling inside own's D, our traps were error-prone but we were lucky as our players made less errors ... Tomorrow's match against New Zealand is important for semi-final qualification after this excellent start.
