India will face the losers of the next semi-final between Australia and England. This is Subhashish. Join us tomorrow morning at 6 IST as the Indian girls battle for Bronze against England.

The NZ runners didn't allow India to execute their PCs with some furious charging. India had their chances in the circle but were unable to get deflections in.

NEW ZEALAND 3 - INDIA 2 IS THE FINAL SCORE

THATS IT!!!! India will play for Bronze. New Zealand managed to find the target while India couldn't make use of the many chances that came their way. That was the single biggest difference between the two teams!

India have reduced the deficit but NZ have looked dangerous. Unlike India, their moves have not been speedy but they have outfoxed the Indian defence with long diagonal balls. The Indians are getting beaten by NZ in the midfield. Manpreet and Chinglensana have to step up. Sjoerd Marijne has to find a way to counter the dangerous diagonal passes. What will India do differently??

HALF-TIME: INDIA 1 - NEW ZEALAND 2

INDIA SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HARMANPREET MAKES NO MISTAKE FROM THE SPOT!!!!

Manpreet to inject. PENALTY STROKE FOR INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29' INDIA into the NZ circle. PC FOR INDIA
