Rupinderpal missed ball in 3rd penalty corner when ball was stopped by stopper ... Chandi earned another penalty corner for India in 68th minute ... Indians earned another penalty corner when Pakistani defender raised a stick inside the circle while defending penalty corner ... Rupinderpal's flick deflected from cross-bar ...
