The bronze medal match between India and Great Britain was level at 3-3 in the third quarter as captain Hollie Pearne Webb scored the equaliser for her country. Earlier, the Indian women’s hockey team came back from two goals down in the second quarter to take a 3-2 lead. After Elena Rayer’s pass from right flank was deflected inside by India’s Deep Grace Ekka’s stick, India conceded again with Sarah Robertson scoring with a magnificent reverse shot. However, Gurjit Kaur scored twice penalty corners to help India draw level. Vandana Katariya then gave India the lead before half-time.
Wrestlers Seema Bisla and Bajrang Punia will be in action soon in their 1/8 finals.
