Indian women’s team’s last game against Great Britain ends in draw

The last match saw Navjot Kaur give India an early lead, and Gurjit Kaur convert a Penalty Corner to give India a two-goal lead, before Great Britain's Elizabeth Neal (55') and Anna Toman (60') scored twice in the last few minutes to earn themselves a draw.

After having lost for the first time during the tour in their previous match, the Indian team started the match on an attacking note, and pushed the hosts back into their own half, creating a host of opportunities inside the opening 10 minutes. The constant pressure on Great Britain's defence meant that India managed to find the break-through in the 8th minute as Forward Navjot Kaur slotted past their Goalkeeper Sabbie Heesh to make it 1-0. The first quarter belonged to India as they had a couple of more chances to extend their lead, but could not convert the Penalty Corners, keeping their one-goal advantage at the first break.

Both the teams had similar chances in the third quarter, but it was India who dominated the possession. But some resolute defending by the experienced British defense meant that the Indians were denied on multiple occasions. Amy Tennant, who had replaced Heesh at half-time, was called into action by Gurjit Kaur in the 40th minute, but produced a fine save to deny the visitors. It was only in the 48th minute of the match that India finally managed to extend their lead as Gurjit Kaur found the back of the net from a Penalty Corner conversion. It was a crucial goal for India at the start of the fourth quarter, but it also sparked the Great Britain team into putting India under pressure.
