Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: The Bengal Tigers booked their place in the final of the Hockey India League (2024-25) after beating the Tamil Nadu Dragons 2-2 and 5-6 in penalty shootouts at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on Friday. In a thrilling match, Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers came back from a goal down twice before forcing a penalty shootout.

After an even start, Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers goalkeeper Jamie Carr was called into action midway through the first quarter. The Ireland goalkeeper reacted quickly to keep out Jip Janssen’s drag flick.
A minute later, the Tamil Nadu Dragons quickly played the ball to forward Ganesh Majji who was unmarked at the post. Carr was off his line in a flash to tackle the ball away from Majji. In the 14th minute, the Bengal Tigers won a penalty corner. Jugraj Singh, the second-highest goalscorer in the league, was denied by a superb save from goalkeeper David Harte.
