In a crazy sort of a way, the third quarter unravelled in completely opposite ways for both India and Australia. India, playing solid defensive hockey with flashy runs that rattled Australia constantly and even had their goalkeeper Andrew Charter hopping around like a padded bunny. Only a stroke converted in the 28th minute by their captain Mark Knowles separated both the teams. And by the time the third quarter madness of Aussie goals and a clutch of cards for India ended, the scoreline read 4-0, enough to ping back any team. And India, by the way, was playing the World Champion and nine-time Azlan Shah Champion. Yet they came through, getting two goals in the fourth quarter, but Australia stood firm to run out 4-2 victors on a day when goals and cards ran a parallel story of their own.
