India pummels Jamaica 13-0 in final Pool B match at FIH Hockey5s Men's World Cup

In its third and final Pool B match of the FIH Hockey5s Men’s World Cup Oman 2024, the Indian men's team showcased an extraordinary performance, securing a resounding 13-0 victory over Jamaica in Muscat, Oman, on Monday.

The victory against Jamaica has confirmed India's berth in the quarterfinals of the FIH Hockey5s World Cup, which is scheduled to be played on January 30.

India initiated the onslaught right from the start, with Maninder Singh scoring two quick goals through precision shots in the second minute of the match.

The early momentum continued as Uttam Singh and Manjeet slotted two home in the fifth minute of the match, propelling India to a commanding 4-0 lead within the first six minutes of the game.

Despite establishing a substantial lead, India maintained relentless pressure on Jamaica's defence with persistent attacks.

Pawan Rajbhar (9’) and Gurjot Singh (14’) capitalised on these opportunities, adding to India's goal tally, and the team entered the halftime break with an impressive 6-0 lead.

The second half mirrored the first, as India focused on ball possession and maintained an aggressive offensive strategy.

This approach proved effective as Mohammed Raheel (16’, 27’), Mandeep Mor (23’, 27’), Manjeet (24’), and Maninder Singh (28’, 29’) collectively scored numerous goals, securing India's dominant 13-0 win.

Notably, the Indian team had defeated Switzerland before losing to Egypt in its opening two Pool B matches on Sunday.
