Tom Craig was in top form on the turf for the Aussies creating constant trouble for the English defenders with his movement in and around the attacking circle. He had scored the second goal for the Australian side in the first quarter with an easy finish.

In the second quarter, Tom Craig scored his second goal of the match after a slick passing move kick-started by Craig in the midfield. Blake Govers set him up with the assist for an easy finish into the goal after the keeper had stepped out to get to the ball.

Craig continued his goal-scoring momentum as the Aussies dominated proceedings on the turf with their attacking approach. They had taken a 5-0 lead in the third quarter and Craig further added to England's misery when he finished his third goal of the evening.
