India protest; awaits Champions Trophy result

India have lodged an appeal against the second shot awarded to Australia in the title-deciding shootout of the 36th Hero Champions Trophy final, which they lost 1-3, delaying the final announcement here Friday.
The final encounter remained goalless at the end of regulation period and required the shootout to settle the issue.
Only Harmanpreet Singh was able to score for India while SK Uthappa, SV Sunil and Surender Kumar all shot wide off the target in the shootout.
Just four attempts were required from the two teams as Australia had gained a winning 3-1 lead.
Aran Zalewski, Daniel Beale and Simon Orchard scored for Australia, while Trent Mitton's try was blocked by goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh.

There was plenty of drama in the shootout as Beale's shot was re-taken after he failed to score and sought a video review. The video umpire asked the shot to be taken again, leaving Indian coach Roelant Oltmans fuming on the sidelines.
Since the review was still under process, the officials removed the trophies from the ground as the fans also left the stadium.
