That's all!
"We were angry after yesterday's loss and wanted to make a comeback. This is a great win and hopefully, all our next matches will go well," says Hundal.

ANNIHILATION!
Is there a better word to describe this? If there is, I do not know. This was just too easy for the Vivek Sagar-led side. While they were 4-0 up right until the end of the first half, the goal from Tardif then just spurred them on.
The Indians came out with vengeance in the third quarter and scored three then. The Canadian shoulders dropped then, and Indian slotted in six more in the final quarter to complete a 13-1 rout.

NEARLY!
That was a long aerial shot, Maninder gets there and manages to deflect it as well, but it goes wide.
That's it from the match. A thumping win for INDIA to get their campaign back on track.

HATTRICK FOR SANJAY
That's two hattricks in two days for Sanjay now. He has 6 goals in 2 matches so far. WHAT A MONSTER.
Just a slotting a casual Penalty Corner with a perfect drag flick. INDIA 13-1 CANADA

No, they don't
They fail to convert that one, but have quickly earned another.

3 minutes remain
Just 3 minutes remaining in this contest, and India is still pressing. They want to squeeze in one or two more.

12th goal for India
The first PC is missed, but Abhishek Lakra ensures the second one does not go to waste. The Canadian goalkeeper is shattered as he sees the ball go past him for the 12th time tonight.
India 12-1 Canada

Another PC for India
Sudeep, this time, earning it right at the edge of the box

Make that 11
Shardanand Tiwari with his second goal of the day and India go 11-1 up. This is just simple mockery of Canada by the Indians. Just too easy for Tiwari.
