Shrachi Bengal Tigers: Hyderabad Toofans began their Bhubaneswar leg on a dominant note, registering a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Shrachi Bengal Tigers in the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium here on Saturday.

Zachary Wallace and Tim Brand starred for the Toofans, scoring hat-tricks to seal an emphatic win. Wallace found the net in the 2nd, 17th and 30th minutes, while Brand struck in the 12th, 39th and 46th minutes.

Hyderabad Toofans took an early lead in the second minute of the opening quarter when Talwinder Singh held the ball well inside the circle and set up Wallace, who finished neatly through the goalkeeper’s legs. Shrachi Bengal Tigers earned two penalty corners in quick succession soon after, but Tom Grambusch’s drag-flicks failed to find the target, with one attempt going wide and the other being saved by goalkeeper Jean-Paul Danneberg.
