India's game of first class first halves and late capitulation

It has been the same story for India in their last few games - brilliant starts undone by poor endings...

India's first match at the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers Round Two against Oman was a game of two halves.

It was like watching two different sets of players playing before and after the break. India had total control over Oman for most of the first half. In the attacking third, India looked dangerous and were more likely to score a goal than their opponents. At the back, there was only one occasion wherein Gurpreet Sandhu had to be alert.
