Ranjit then made the scoreline 3-0 in favour of the Warriors through a field effort. Raghunath pulled one back for the Wizards in the 42nd minute from a penalty corner. Trailing 1-3, the Wizards pressed hard for goals thereafter and it took two brilliant corner conversions from skipper Raghunath in a span of three minutes to draw parity and take match into extra time.
