Fighting India lose 3-4 to title holders Australia in FIH Pro League

Bhubaneswar, Feb 21:
India fought hard before losing 3-4 to defending champions Australia in their first match of the two-leg FIH Pro League encounter here today.
Making their debut in the second season of the FIH Pro League, the Indians displayed their potential by claiming five points from a possible six against the Netherlands before claiming another three in a stunning 2-1 victory over Belgium, the reigning World and European champions. The Red Lions bounced back with a 3-2 win in the second match.
But the hosts were made to toil hard by the world no.2 Australia before eventually losing the match in a close encounter.
Dylan Wotherspoon (6th minute), Tom Wickham (18th), Lachlan Sharp (41st) and Jacob Anderson (42nd) scored four field goals for the winners. (PTI)
