India vs Germany hockey LIVE score: Women's pool A Tokyo Olympics Live commentary, updates

With that, we come to the end of our coverage of the women's pool A game between India and Germany. The final scoreline read 2-0 favouring the Germans.

That's all from our side. This is Anurag Bansal and Raghav Tikmany signing off on behalf of Sportskeeda. Stay tuned, and keep supporting team India!

Until next time!

A well-fought game by the Indian girls comes to an end. Rio Bronze medalists, Germany proved to be too strong for the women in blue.

The first half was completely dominated by the Germans. Even though India made a decent comeback in the second half, they were unable to make the most of their scoring chances. A missed penalty corner, as well as a penalty shot, cost India the game.

Nevertheless, it was a great performance by the girls. We hope to see them getting back to winning ways soon!

Sharmila Devi has been phenomenal today. She's been running around and giving it her all for her country and her team. However, she desperately needs strong support from the team to make it all count.
