Two weeks ago, the Indian team lost 3-0 against the same opponents and prepared the right response to the defeat.
Australia dominated from the start as Jane Claxton threatened to put the visitors ahead after a corner. However, the Indian defense took the opportunity to defend him.
India took the lead in the third quarter when India converted a penalty corner. Vandana Katariya, who missed out for India in the Olympic qualifiers, ably pointed out what India was missing. Katariya applied strong pressure right in front of the goal, which caused us to lose possession of the ball. India put the ball in the circle and Katariya won the penalty corner. He dove to convert it as India took the lead.
The Indians defended bravely throughout the match to ensure that Australia had no chance of coming back despite their slim lead.
