19:22 (IST)12 DEC 2016

70' India 2-1 South Africa - South Africa throwing in everything to get a goal but India are solid. The game comes to an end. INDIA WIN

19:20 (IST)12 DEC 2016

68' India 2-1 South Africa - WHAT A MATCH!! Harjeet Singh rounds the goalkeeper but cannot finish the move. South Africa attack and win a penalty corner. Lion-Cachet lurking. GOES WIDE. Brilliant from the scorer but it is wide. 

19:19 (IST)12 DEC 2016

67' India 2-1 South Africa - Decent play from D'Souza in the Indian circle but he dribbles past a couple only to give the ball away. India are defending well. 

19:17 (IST)12 DEC 2016

65' India 2-1 South Africa - Great run by Manpreet and he drives the ball from outside the circle. The ball goes into the goal but it does not take a touch. South Africa survive. 

19:16 (IST)12 DEC 2016

64' India 2-1 South Africa - A counter from South Africa but Harmanpreet is alert enough to stop his opponent. 

19:15 (IST)12 DEC 2016

63' India 2-1 South Africa - BIG chance for India. Harjeet wins the ball and makes a darting run with no one backing up for South Africa. Squares the ball for Mandeep but the latter cannot finish it. 

19:14 (IST)12 DEC 2016

62' India 2-1 South Africa - Beautiful turn by Armaan Qureshi in the South African circle but the shot is well defended. A sense of frustration creeping in the South African team. 

19:12 (IST)12 DEC 2016

60' India 2-1 South Africa - Long pass to Pandey and he controls it well before skying a reverse hit way above the goal. Roelant Oltmans watching from the sidelines. South Africa look a bit off color now. 

19:10 (IST)12 DEC 2016

59' India 2-1 South Africa - The way it stands, India will finish on top of POOL D. Right as we say that, Ajit Pandey makes a fabulous run but the shot is saved. 

19:09 (IST)12 DEC 2016

57' India 2-1 South Africa - Much more relaxed play from India and they deserve the lead. Just over 12 minutes left in the match. 

19:06 (IST)12 DEC 2016

54' India 2-1 South Africa - GOOOOOALLLLL Mandeep scores for India. The hosts have taken the lead again and it is a lovely finish from the deadly Mandeep, who rarely misses a chance. 

19:05 (IST)12 DEC 2016

53' India 1-1 South Africa - India looking a little bereft of ideas at the moment. They are attacking from the wing and trying to drive the ball inside the circle. South Africa are reading the game brilliantly. 

19:01 (IST)12 DEC 2016

49' India 1-1 South Africa - India win a penalty corner. Poor control from Harmanpreet as the ball is injected. That is two penalty corners wasted by India. Will it cost them?

19:00 (IST)12 DEC 2016

48' India 1-1 South Africa - This is going to be a test for India as they have not been able to pierce the South African defence in the second half yet. 

18:59 (IST)12 DEC 2016

46' India 1-1 South Africa - The crowd getting behind the team here. But South Africa have a spring in their step. Much more intent and much better hockey from the Men in Green. 

18:56 (IST)12 DEC 2016

44' India 1-1 South Africa - India moving the ball across the turf but the big difference from the first half is that South Africa are much more compact. 

18:53 (IST)12 DEC 2016

41' India 1-1 South Africa - India are trying to breach into the South African circle but they are staying put. 

18:51 (IST)12 DEC 2016

39' India 1-1 South Africa - South Africa are attacking a lot more now and they are keeping the ball. A lot of play from the wings. India doing well to fend them off though. 

18:48 (IST)12 DEC 2016

37' India 1-1 South Africa - We are underway with the second half and India are attacking again. This is turning out to be an exciting contest.

18:32 (IST)12 DEC 2016

30' India 1-1 South Africa - South Africa have been rewarded for their hard work and resilience. They have done well to defence and it is a wonderful goal from Lion-Cachet. They have grown in confidence

18:25 (IST)12 DEC 2016

24' India 1-0 South Africa - Sumit with some excellent stick work here and he passes to Armaan, who cannot control it. The crowd enjoying the game thoroughly here. 

18:23 (IST)12 DEC 2016

22' India 1-0 South Africa - The big thing to note here is that not only are India controlling the game, they are doing so in the South African half, which is excellent. Varun Kumar intercepts a South African counter to prevent the opponents from taking shot. 

18:20 (IST)12 DEC 2016

19' India 1-0 South Africa - A lot of end-to-end hockey being played here as South Africa are also trying to stir up a fast counter but India are way too quick. That is something you would not usually hear about India. 

18:19 (IST)12 DEC 2016

17' India 1-0 South Africa - Beautiful hockey from Simranjeet as his run and pass fuel a counter attack and India win a penalty corner. The ball is injected with Harmanpreet lurking. HE TAKES THE SHOT but it is saved. 

18:17 (IST)12 DEC 2016

15' India 1-0 South Africa - The pace from India is quite remarkable and they are not letting the opponent rest for a bit. Right as we say that, Indian keeper Dahiya is brought into action and he makes a save. 

18:15 (IST)12 DEC 2016

14' India 1-0 South Africa - India are looking absolutely lively here and are not letting South Africa breathe. Yet another attack and a shot on goal is saved. Qureshi takes a reverse hit shot but was off balance. 

18:11 (IST)12 DEC 2016

11' India 1-0 South Africa - GOOOOOOOALLLL India lead!!!! Captain Harjeet Singh scores the opener for the hosts. He receives a ball in the circle and with the South African defence pushed back, Harjeet makes no mistake to slot it home. India are up and running. 

18:10 (IST)12 DEC 2016

10' India 0-0 South Africa - This time South Africa try an aerial pass but it is blocked by Harmanpreet. Harjeet threads a beautiful pass down the line to Ajit but the ball goes out of play. 

18:09 (IST)12 DEC 2016

8' India 0-0 South Africa - Another aerial ball played into the circle by India and this time it is Varun Kumar but yet another miss. India are going at it continuously. South Africa are not on the same tempo. They are managing to survive. 

18:07 (IST)12 DEC 2016

6' India 0-0 South Africa - Parwinder steals the ball close to the circle and takes it forward but a great recovery from the defender prevents a shot on goal. India have started really brightly here.

18:05 (IST)12 DEC 2016

4' India 0-0 South Africa - CHANCE!!! India almost score. A long aerial ball played into the the South African circle but the forward does not get a touch on it. Almost there. India are taking the game to the opposition.
