Sanjay and Dilpreet Singh scored one goal each while Blake Glovers, Tim Brand and Cooper Burns scored for the Australian side. The defeat marked India's sixth successive loss in the ongoing European leg of the FIH Pro League.

Cooper Burns extended the lead of the Australian side a few minutes later to put his side ahead with a margin of couple of goals. Australia were having a two-goal lead by the half-time break before India made some progress in levelling the scores in the third quarter as Dilpreet Singh put one into the back of the net. Abhishek provided a brilliant assist in the second goal of the Indian team.

With the loss, India are now slumped to the sixth position in the points table.
