Jaypee Punjab Warriors would look to quickly forget the humiliating defeat against league leaders Delhi Waveriders and return to winning ways when they take on bottom-placed Dabur Mumbai Magicians in their Hero Hockey India League encounter at the Mahindra Hockey stadium here on Thursday.
Jaypee Punjab Warriors ensured that the Dabur Mumbai Magicians remained win-less in the Hero Hockey India League, beating them 4-3 at the Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium on Thursday.
Malak Singh, SV Sunil and Russell Ford scored for the hosts, while PR Sreejesh's own goal made it four for the hosts.
The Magicians have put up a much improved show in their last few encounters and are begging to play more like a team. Also the form of their penalty corner specialist Sandeep Singh would be a cause of worry for the visitors.
This was Magicians' fifth loss in as many games, while Warriors scored their second win over the Magicians in this tournament, and also their first win at home this year.
