PREVIEW-

Indian women The team failed to impress in its first real test at the Commonwealth Games, losing to England 1-3 in a Group A match on Tuesday.

The home team entered strongly, moving quickly and prevailed to put pressure on the Indian goal.

Right from the 2nd minute of the game, England was awarded a corner. They can’t calculate that number, but take advantage of the next number they get right after the first.

Helped by an early goal, England continued to dominate the ball while looking to put pressure on the visitors with efforts to retreat from close range.

India defended in large numbers, but the midfield looked a bit weary and underpowered as England attacked relentlessly at the University of Birmingham’s Hockey and Squash center.

India rallied back after a sloppy first half but failed to score. When the second half started, the Indians shot into the opponent’s goal and looked aggressive. The second half ended in a stalemate with England holding on to the lead and India continuing their quest for an equalizer.

India played better in the second half, but they struggled past Madeleine Hinch, who was playing brilliantly in the middle of the second half before the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The fact that the Indians could not find the net, despite their confidence and determination, greatly influenced the performance of England goalkeeper Hinch. What also did not help the cause of the Indians was their sloppy play in the final third inning.
