Indian junior hockey team pulled off a 4-2 win against Australia in the fourth match of the five-match test series here on Wednesday.
The games are being played at Gold Coast here in preparation for the 2015 Men's Junior Asia Cup.
The match began with both teams playing a defensive game.
Indian men were seen in their full form after scoring their first goal of the match which came through the stick of Arman Qureshi. The second goal was scored by Sumit Toppo which came as a field goal closely followed by Parvinder Singh who stroked effortlessly the third goal.
The Australian failed to capitalise opportunities to find the net after the two penetrations. Desperate to avenge the lead, Australia did not lose hope and continued to make a number of attempts.
The Indian colts made up for the loss after going down in the last match.
Maintaining the supremacy, it was Qureshi again, who struck a beautifully crafted field goal to finish the game.
