Delhi Wave Riders held their nerve to beat Jaypee Punjab Warriors in the penalty shoot-out after the two teams finished 3-3 at full time.
Delhi Waveriders will lock horns with Jaypee Punjab Warriors in the summit clash of the second edition of Hero Hockey India League after registering hard-fought victories in their respective semi-finals.
The Waveriders rode on Yuvraj Walmiki's lone goal to beat Uttar Pradesh Wizards in the first semi-final on Saturday, before dragflicker Sandeep Singh struck twice to hand Warriors a 3-2 win in the high-voltage next last-four match to dash the hopes of defending champions Ranchi Rhinos in front of a packed stadium.
If the first semi-final was a quiet affair, the second semi-final between the Rhinos and the Warriors produced fast and exciting hockey, much to the delight of the capacity crowd.
