Prabhjot Singh (21') and Maninder Singh (28') scored for JSW Soorma Hockey Club, while Jugraj Singh's 39th minute proved to be a consolation goal for Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers.

Prabhjot Singh was in the right place at the right time as he put JSW Soorma in lead with his strike after a deflection.

 

Maninder Singh struck from a penalty corner and doubled JSW Soorma lead before half time.

At the half time break, JSW Soorma were sitting pretty with a two-goal cushion, both goals coming in the second quarter.

Jugraj Singh, however, pulled one back for Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers with his strike in the 39th minute.
