India go down fighting 3-4 to Australia, draw series 1-1 with world champs


It was a festival of goals during the second and final match of the hockey series between Australia and India in Victoria on Wednesday. India skipper VR Raghunath scored twice in the match, both penalty corner conversions, while Akashdeep Singh scored the opening goal for the visitors. Australia scored through Trent Mitton, Jake Whetton while Jeremy Hayward scored twice from penalty corners to earn the hosts the series-levelling victory. The action quickened in the second quarter with both sides playing attacking hockey—the shift in tactics and momentum were a treat for spectators. India earned a penalty corner again towards the end of the quarter and skipper Raghunath converted it with a brilliant drag-flick.
