India hold NZ to 1-1 draw, win Test series by 2-1

New Delhi, Oct 11:
India eked out a 1-1 draw against New Zealand in the final hockey Test to pocket the four-match series 2-1 in Christchurch.
After a goalless opening two quarters, Nick Ross  broke the deadlock for New Zealand in the 41st minute. But the hosts’ joy was shortlived as India equalised two minutes later through a field goal from SV Sunil (43rd).
The first quarter of the game witnessed a series of attacks from the Indias, who dominated the entire session.
Without wasting much time, skipper Sardar Singh broke into the hosts defence from the right flank but his attack was stopped by New Zealand’s Alex Shaw. (PTI)
