Indeed, only a loss in their final game against Bangladesh and a miracle on the goal difference front could see them overhauled by two teams.<\/p>\n<p>Two goals in each half were served up the Delhi hosts, the first coming from VR Raghunath\u2019s high drag-flick in the 12th minute, his seventh of the competition. Raghunath added his and his country\u2019s second amid a scramble following a baseline pull-back in the 28th minute to double the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Four minutes into the second half, any lingering Chinese hopes were further dented Mandeep Singh played a ball through his legs to Dharamvir Singh who bundled in once more.<\/p>\n<p>And the scoring was completed by Rupinder Pal Singh as he netted his sixth penalty corner goal of the tournament. Should India claim even a draw against Bangladesh in their final game, they will be crowned the tournament champions.
