Q3 begins!
We’re back underway in Madurai. India restart with a 4–0 lead and will look to keep the tempo high as Switzerland try to hold their structure.
Half-time
India lead 4–0 at the break. A strong first half with goals from Manmeet Singh (2), Sharda Tiwari, and Arshdeep Singh. Switzerland have shown resistance, but India remain firmly in control heading into Q3.
Q2, 28’ GOAL!
Arshdeep Singh adds India’s fourth with a beautifully taken field goal. Slick build-up, calm finish. India cruising now.
Q2, 21’ Penalty corner for India!
Ansolid drag-flick, but an even better save from the Swiss goalkeeper. Switzerland hold firm.
End of Q1!
India lead 3–0 after a dominant opening quarter. Manmeet Singh’s brace and Sharda Tiwari’s PC conversion put the hosts firmly in control. Switzerland have defended bravely, but India’s intensity is showing.
Q1, 13’ GOAL!
India make it 3–0. Sharda Tiwari steps up for the penalty corner and converts with a clean, powerful drag-flick. Clinical from the hosts.
Q1, 11’ GOAL!
India double their lead! Another superb long ball fired into the circle and Manmeet Singh gets the perfect deflection once again. The birthday boy is on fire tonight!
Q1, 9’ Cagey affair so far!
This one is unlike the earlier Pool B matches. Switzerland are keeping things much tighter, and India aren’t getting the same free space they enjoyed in the previous games. A more controlled, cagey start so far.
Q1, 2’ GOAL!
India strike early! The birthday boy, Manmeet Singh, puts the hosts ahead with a sharp finish inside the circle. Perfect start for India.
Q1 is underway!
And we’re underway! The first pushback has been taken, and India vs Switzerland officially begins here in Madurai.
