FIH Series Finals: India thrash South Africa 5-1; wins Gold!

It was yet another dominating performance from the hosts as India defeat South Africa by 5-1 to lift the trophy.

Though India fumbled initially, the team bounced back stronger to score five goals. The major takeaway from the game was how the players performed after the initial pressure.

While Harmanpreet Singh and Varun Kumar scored twice, Vivek Prasad scored a goal to make five for India. Richard Pautz was the only scorer for South Africa.

With this win, India made sure to stay at number five position in the new rankings which will be released in September.
