Delhi Waveriders and Ranchi Rhinos registered identical 2-1 wins on Day Two of the inaugural Hockey India League yesterday
While Delhi beat Mumbai Magicians at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium here, Ranchi stunned the Jaypee Punjab Warriors in their own backyard in Jalandhar.
Rupinder Pal Singh (26th minute) and Norris Jones (49th) scored for Delhi, while Sandeep Singh pulled one back for Mumbai in the 50th minute. Sandeep had a golden opportunity to draw level when Glenn Turner earned the Mumbai outfit a penalty corner a minute from the final whistle. However, the star drag-flicker failed to score again.
