AUS-W 2-1 IND-W (PEN) (6 August 2022)
AUS-W 0-1 IND-W (2 August 2021)
There comes the opening whistle and we are underway.
GOAL!!!
Stunning start from the Indian start and they take an early lead. They got three back-to-back Penalty Corners soon after the opening whistle. Could not find a goal through any of them but they do not take long to finally fire one in and go ahead. Vaishnavi Vitthal Phalke is the scorer.
About two minutes left in the first quarter and Australia get a Penalty Corner. It could be dangerous for India.
India manage to avert the danger late into the first quarter. So, a good start so far from the Indian side. They have been alert defensively and were ultra aggressive to start things. Due to that, they are now leading 1-0.
Second quarter begins!
A dull second quarter and at half-time we have India still in lead.
India 1-0 Australia at half-time
In the half-time press talk, Harendra Singh said that he was very happy the way his team has played so far, and hoped that the next two quarters are more of the same. The second half has started at London.
IND 1-0 AUS
35' Q3: Australia are slowly gaining more confidence as the game is going on, and are enjoying a lot of the ball. Hayes had a terrific chance, having the entire goal empty in front of her, but her shot hit Stewart on the head. A big reprieve for India, but they will need to stay alert as the Hockeyroos are pushing hard for an equaliser.
IND 1-0 AUS
37' Q3: Amy Lawton receives the ball after winning a fifty-fifty against Lalremsiami, and shoots just inside from the edge of the circle, and the powerful strike goes past the goalkeepe. The referee asks for a referral for a foul-check, and awards the goal. Indian players are not happy, and ask for another referral, but the referee reminds them that you can not refer a referral.
IND 1-1 AUS
54' Q4: India win a PC, and Jyoti바카라™s flick is put behind and the PC is awarded again. Neha gets a goal chance to put India ahead, but her shot hits the post and comes back. Harendra Singh has his hands on his head. Another PC for India, but again, nothing comes out of it. Neha바카라™s shot in the fourth PC is put behind for a long corner, but India refer the decision for foot infringement.
IND 1-1 AUS
60' Q4: Can you believe it?! Australia earn a PC with 34 seconds left on the clock. Stewart's drag flick is lethal, and Pickering turns up in front of Bichu Devi to poke it past the goalkeeper. It바카라™s heartbreak for the Women in Blue, as they had the better chances in the final quarter but did not make any of them count, and now will return empty-handed.
IND 1-2 AUS
