India recorded their second consecutive hockey win.
For India, Rupinderpal Singh and V Raghunath each scored two goals and Akashdeep Singh, Ramandeep Singh and Danish Mujtaba each scored one goal.
Despite the victory, India suffered a major setback when drag-flicker Rpininderpal Singh was injured during the match.

In the first half, India had taken a 3-0 lead.
