But they failed to rise up to the occasion and wasted a plausible goal scoring opportunity as Vikramjit\u2019s drag-flick was blocked by Comets custodian Harjot Singh.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from few chances here and there the match had nothing much to offer and it was a dull show. With three quarters over without and the scoreboard reading 0-0, it was now anticipated that the match was heading towards a draw. But just minutes ahead of the final hooter, Gurjinder scored from a short corner to seal the fate of the Wizards. A minute later the hosts came very close to scoring but Rajpal\u2019s Singh stop was palmed away by Harjot.<\/p>\n<p>With tournament in its halfway stage, the loss has now left Wizards lying at the seventh position, ahead of Karnataka Lions whereas Comets jumped up to the third position. <strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samikshan Dutta Choudhury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Indian Sports News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/hockey\/chandigarh-comets%20.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"WSH: Wizards hit by Comets at home turf\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" \/>New Delhi: <\/strong>Delhi Wizards\u2019 World Series Hockey campaign hit a roadblock and their chances to proceed into the semis look very grim as they lost to Chandigarh Comets 1-0 at the Major Dhyanchand National Stadium here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Wizards required a win desperately to stay safe in the tournament.
