India finish 10th in junior hockey World Cup

India finish disappointing 10th in Hero Junior Men's Hockey World Cup played at the floodlit Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, New Delhi today. Pakistan defeated host India 4-2 in the one-on-one penalty shoot out after both the teams were locked at 1-1 at the regulation time. Pakistan finished ninth after beating India. Pakistan stunned the large home spectators in the seventh minute with a field goal from Rizwan Ali before Gurjinder Singh drew parity for India just four minutes from the hooter by converting the home team's second penalty corner. But it was not to be India's day as they scored just twice in the shoot-out as against Pakistan's four conversions.Though India dominated the lion's share of possession in the first half, the hosts were far from impressive.
