Gurjit Kaur's solitary goal in the 22nd minute was enough for India to beat Australia. The Indian dragflicker beat Australian keeper Rachael Lynch with ease to score her first goal of the tournament. Only one penalty corner came India's way and they were successful in capitalizing on the opportunity.

However, the Hockeyroos won nine penalty corners but failed to convert all of them. India's neat defense and the absence of a penalty corner specialist in the Australian squad led the 3-time Olympic champions to miss nine penalty corners.
