India will be up against Malaysia next. The Malaysians beat Japan 3-2 earlier today. Join us tomorrow morning for the Malaysia match. Till then, its goodbye, this is Subhashish.

A great win for India as the Indian defence soaked up immense pressure from the Chinese while the strikers made no mistake with the chances they had.

India started with a bang just as they did in the first match launching a barrage of attacks in the first quarter. Their efforts paid off as Vandana found the target twice. The Chinese tightened up their defence in the second quarter just after they scored through Wen Dan at the end of the first quarter. It was even-stevens in the third quarter with China pressing hard. In the final quarter, China looked dangerous but India scored off a PC courtesy of the ever-dependable Gurjit Kaur.

IT'S ALL OVER. INDIA HAVE WON. INDIA 3 - CHINA 1 IS THE FINAL SCORE
