We are just minutes away from what could be a thrilling final.

The women's final between Uruguay and Switzerland has just drawn to a close with the former clinching the inaugural FIH Hockey 5s title and now it's time for the Final showdown in the men's section - INDIA v/s POLAND!
Up Next: India v/s Poland Men's FINAL!
The Indian men's team will take on Poland in a rematch of the contest played earlier today in the final. The men in blue have been unbeaten over the past two days, while Poland have lost two matches, including one against India.
The final is expected to start at 10pm IST. Stay tuned!
INDIAN WOMEN EXIT!
This draw means that the Indian women's team is out of reckoning from the inaugural edition of the FIH Hockey 5s. They needed a win to edge past Switzerland on goal difference, but all they manage is a draw.
South Africa, too, exit this two-day event and the final of the Women's section will be played between a very less fancied Uruguay and Switzerland.
DRAW!
IT'S A DRAW!!!
India and South Africa have played out a 4-4 draw after 20 minutes. The Indians enjoyed a one-goal lead for most part of the second half, but the Africans equalised right at nick of time.
IND 4-4 RSA
19' - SOUTH AFRICA EQUALISE!
She is doing it all alone for South Africa is Chamberlin. Runs past two Indian defenders, finds a small gap to launch a shot and she finds the net. South Africa have equalised!
IND 4-4 RSA
18' - Mumtaz's shot saved!
A brilliant reverse flick from Mumtaz Khan to the far post, but the South African goalkeeper stretches to her limit to pull off a beautiful save.
16' - SAVE, RAJANI!
South Africa are 2 v 1 against the Indian goalkeeper, they make the pass a bit too early. They still have an open shot at the goal, but Rajani comes down cuts the angle and then dives to stop. STUNNING EFFORT!
