While Yousuf scored two field goals (19th minute) in quick succession, dragflicker V R Raghunath netted the winner for India in the 44th minute. The second half witnessed a completely different picture as India looked happy to sit back, absorb the pressure and take Australia on the counter. Australia, on the other hand, were incisive and precise, and drew themselves level via goals from Willis (36th) and Mitton (43rd). India, however, regained their lead a minute later from a penalty corner, which was dully converted by Raghunath. In the final quarter India adopted a cautious approach and managed to hold on to the lead to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
