Energy ran low and combined with errors and turn-overs gave the World Champions a distinct advantage as Australia ran out 3-2 winners over an Indian side that would be searching for answers after a rather ragged display. In the dying seconds, an equaliser could have been snatched that could have given India a crucial point but questions would be raised over the performance in the first three quarters.

India remain on six points after three matches with Australia leading the table with 7, followed by the Dutch with six too and the rear being brought up by Argentina with four, Belgium 2 and Pakistan yet to secure a win. All teams have played three matches each. Australia as usual was the aggressive starter getting the lead early in the 6th minute when Lachlan Sharp scored.
