India enters into final............???????????

[Sidhu...Sidhaarth Roy]

India produced a lion-hearted performance and came back from two goals down to beat England 5-4 in the penalty shoot out here today and book a berth in the title clash of the men's hockey event in the Commonwealth Games against world champions Australia.

The Indians displayed great character and determination before a packed Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here, to not only make a remarkable comeback into the match but also kept a cool head to convert all their strokes in the shoot out after both the sides were tied at 3-3 at the end of the regulation 70 minutes.

The match was a tight affair can be gauged from the fact that the 15 minutes of extra time also failed to decide the winner, which brought shoot out into action.
