At the FIH Hockey Pro League 2020, Bhubaneswar, India
India bt Australia 2-2 (HT 2-1) (3-1 shoot-out)
Goal Scorers - Rupinder Pal Singh (IND) 25' PC, Harmanpreet Singh (IND) 27' PC and Trent Mitton (AUS) 23', Aran Zalewski (AUS) 46'
A good win for us in the shoot-out against a strong Australian team ... Sreejesh was a hero of the match, he conceded 2 penalty strokes in the shoot-out but saved 3 shots also ... We played a lot better hockey than yesterday, though we were making a lot of defensive errors ... We conceded 9 penalty corners but Aussie players failed to convert, on other hands we scored 2 goals from 4 penalty corners ... In this match, we played the pressing game and managed to keep the pressure on the Aussie team ... After conceding the goal we scored 2 goals in 2 minutes from 2 penalty corners to lead at the half-time ... Tim Brand missed a penalty stroke in an early 3rd quarter but the Aussie team equalized on the 1st minute of the 4th quarter ... After that, both teams tried to score, we conceded a penalty corner in the final seconds but managed to save it to end match 2-all ... Again we showed mastery in the shoot-out to earn a bonus point from this match.
