Youngster Rani Devi delighted the hundred odd Indian fans — and also her coach MK Kaushik, with three goals in the seven nil rout.

India will now take on Netherlands Antilles for the bronze tomorrow. Coaching team assured a good performance so that they can seek some consolation in the bronze. “For that to happen, I need the team play patiently, hold the ball, keep possession and be alert in the cicle”.

France is an young team here, and is yet to win a match.
