FULL TIME. India wins 3-0. This will be a very satisfactory win for the Indian women as they dominated the proceedings thoroughly. Leaving aside a few poor finishes, their attack line looked very cohesive and covered a lot of the turf. All in all an Indian game. We will back very soon with the coverage of next match.

HALF TIME: Indian women have displayed brilliant atheleticism and their runs down the Polish circle look very promising.
