A 2-1 defeat of Germany has restored order for Australia's men's hockey team after a poor Pro League start.
First-quarter goals to Jake Whetton and Jack Welch were enough as the Kookaburras held on for just their second win from seven games in the worldwide tournament.
It snapped a run of two losses since the side's arrival in India, which followed a disappointing home leg in Hobart that yielded just one win from four games against Spain and Argentina.
