    The second quarter witnessed Indian displaying some terrific ball control and an attacking game.

    However, it was Australia who took the lead as Maddison Brooks (25’) scored a goal after she received a pass through a quickly taken free hit following which, Brooks, who was standing free at the far post, put the ball beyond goalkeeper and Captain Savita. The hosts went into the half-time break with the 1-0 lead.

    The third quarter began with India controlling the tempo of the game in their bid to find the equaliser and it paid off as defender Deep Grace Ekka (42’) converted a penalty corner to level the score.

    The visitors continued to test Australia’s defence as they were eyeing to take a lead, however, the third quarter didn’t see any more goals and it ended with the score tied at 1-1.

    The hosts came out all guns blazing in the final quarter but India’s defence line stood strong and denied the Australians from taking a lead.
