Ace drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh scored a hat-trick and in the process completed a century of international goals as India beat England 4-3 in the second match of the double-leg FIH Pro League tie in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.
India, who had won the first clash in the double-header 3-2 in sudden death shoot-out on Saturday, thus consolidated their position atop the league table, moving to 21 points from 10 matches.
Germany, India’s next opponents a couple of weeks later, are second with 17 points from eight matches. England were placed 7th with seven points from six matches. The hosts will next take on Germany on April 14 and 15.
