The Hague: India registered a resounding 4-1 victory over South Africa here in their last warm-up game on Wednesday ahead of the hockey World Cup.
India dominated from the start when vice-captain Rupinder Pal Singh converted a penalty corner to take a 1-0 lead. In the second half, it was Rupinder again who converted another penalty corner to add to the lead.
South Africa later managed to convert a penalty corner to reduce the margin. But India restricted them from scoring any more and captain Sardar Singh contributed a field goal followed by VR Raghunath’s successful penalty corner. (IANS)
