Chandigarh : Delhi Waveriders defeated Jaypee Punjab Warriors 5-4 to get off to a winning start in the Coal India Hockey India League (HIL) at the Chandigarh Hockey Stadium here on Wednesday.

Waveriders rode on goals from Yuvraj Walmiki and Rupinder Pal Singh, while Mark Pearson scored one. For Warriors, Matt Gohdes, Christopher Ciriello and Mark Gleghorne scored.

Waveriders started on an attacking note, riding on the energy and pace provided by young forwards Mandeep Singh and Talwinder Singh.
Talwinder passed the ball towards Steve Edwards but the latter was slow to react as Mark Knowles cleared the ball for the home side.

Warriors too had their chances when SV Sunil's searing drive inside the circle threatened Waveriders but Gleghorne was not up to the task. In a turnover, Waveriders took the lead in the ninth minute when Mandeep fed Yuvraj from the left and the latter employed a brilliant reverse-hand strike to stun Warriors goalkeeper Tristian Clemons.
