India thwarted a series of late charges from Pakistan to notch up a stunning 2-1 win over the archrivals and stay in contention for the title in the Azlan Shah hockey tournament on Thursday.

Indian drag-flickers Sandeep Singh (6th minute) and Diwakar Ram (20th) rose up to the expectation by scoring a goal apiece, while veteran Pakistani mid-fielder Mohammad
Saqlain (58th) netted the lone goal for his side.

With their third straight win in the tournament, India have now garnered nine points from five matches.
