Join us at 1715 IST tomorrow as the Indian men meet New Zealand in the sem-finals. This is Subhahish. Goodbye.

Australia 1 - India 0 is the final score.

Australia are through to the final. India will play the bronze medal match against England. India played well but Australia looked superior for the most part. The Aussies have not conceded a goal yet in the entire tournament. India were great in defence. Tidy tackles and good clearances meant that the Aussies managed to score only once. But India were unable to find the target with the few chances they had.

58' GREAT CHANCE for India!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooops!!! Rani misses!!!

57' Good ball for India but cleared by Lynch. Time running out for India

56' India take their goalie off. Can it work?? Four minutes to go!!!

55' Great ball for Lalremsiani in the Aussie 25. Ashlea Faye is solid as ever in defence for Australia. Savita leaves. India will press hard now

54' India trying to attack with hard hits into the Aussie circle but unable to find their own players.

53' India yet again unable to enter the Austalian circle. Neha Goel does her best but the Aussie defence is strong as ever.

51' Harendra Singh shouts out instructions. What can India do differently?

50' Ten minutes to go. India will look to attack for all they are worth.

PC wasted. India have to do better than that.

49' PC again for India. Can India equalize?????

India earn a PC. Gurjit Kaur is on the pitch. Great defence by the Aussies.

47' India need a PC. They do not have a referral!!!

Who will meet New Zealand in the final?

Australia 1 - India 0

The Aussies keep their referral but dont get a PC. India have 15 minutes left on the clock to produce some magic. They simply have not managed to control the game or manufacture a single move!!

44' Just a minute to go before we enter the third quarter. Harendra Singh will have a talk with the girls for sure. India have to take a risk and advance. Australia want a PC!!!!!

43' India unable to find any way through the Aussie defence. India have to change their approach quickly.

41' The Aussies looking ominous now. India unable to organize a single attack.

35' Yet again, some outstanding work done by India in defence. They have excelled today. But how long can they do it?

34' Australia coming at India with fire and fury early in the second half!! This is going to be a real test for the Indian defence.

Ball too high. Lucky for India!!!!

33' Oooopss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PC for Australia!!!! Danger for India

32' Who will break the deadlock?

Question is, how long can India hang on? Australia will come hard for sure in the second half as they haven't scored yet. What will India's approach be? Find out after we return.

India had a great chance early in the first quarter, but none since then. India have looked solid in defence and clinical with their passes in the midfield. They have kept the Aussies out of the circle and cleared cleanly when the Hockeyroos have found a way in. India havent let Australia score but havent looked like scoring themselves apart from a solitary shot on goal.

22' India look calm, composed, and disciplined. But how long can they hold on without scoring against the mighty Aussies???

21' Desperate clearance by India. The Aussies try to find a way into the Indian 25.

16' Australia pressing hard early in the second quarter. GREAT SAVE by Savita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
