Sunil found the back of the net off a rebound after the Wales custodian had parried away Rupinderpal Singh’s dragflick. Unlike the drawn game against Pakistan, the Indian defence held their nerves during the final minute to log home full points. The other scorers for India were Dilpreet Singh (16th), Mandeep Singh (28th), Harmanpreet Singh (57th).
For Wales, Gareth Furlong scored a hat-trick to snatch India’s lead on three occasions (17’, 45’ and 58’), converting three out of the four penalty corners that Wales earned thus keeping his team’s hopes alive for the better part of the match. India captain Manpreet Singh admitted that he didn’t expect the match to go to the wire.
