assist from Simranjeet Singh
The goal was set-up by Sardar Singh's brilliant pass that pierced through the midfield to find Lalit at the top of the circle who eventually
Ramandeep positioned in front of the Pakistani goalkeeper kept it low to deflect it past Butt into the goal.Pakistan upped their tempo in
the third quarter, playing an improved structure compared to their previous outings against India at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and Asia

60th minute through young forwards Dilpreet, Mandeep and Lalit.India's second goal scored by Dilpreet was set up deep at the back when
defender Surender Singh's stupendous tackle snatched the ball from Pakistan
It was Simranjeet who carried the ball in the midfield and once again made an effective assist with a perfect pass to Dilpreet who held his
nerves to beat Imran Butt to the goal
With Pakistan pulling out their goalkeeper, Mandeep broke no sweat as he flipped the ball into the post in the 57th minute as the Indians
went on a rampaging finish capitalising on their high fitness levels to keep up the speed and dented Pakistan's defence
Mandeep later assisted Lalit who scored on the whistle to end India's opening match with a superb 4-0 win.
