India wins silver in men’s hockey, loses 0-7 to Australia in final at Commonwealth Games 2022
The HinduThe Indian men’s hockey team was blown away like a tin roof in a hurricane as Australia continued its dominant show at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. With just over a minute remaining in the first quarter, Ephraums swooped in to get the final touch on the ball en route to the goal after defender Jake Harvie’s measured pass across the field found Anderson. Early in the second quarter, skipper Manpreet Singh set up an attacking move from the right after Matt Dawson lost possession in India’s half. India’s defenders were the first to forward Timothy Brand’s cross from the right side of the pitch in yet another counter-attack but India received a big blow when Manpreet had to saunter out with an injury owing to an accidental high elbow from Australia captain Aran Zalewski.
