After a goalless first half on Tuesday, which saw both sides testing each others’ strengths, India broke the deadlock with Hina scoring off a penalty corner after three failed attempts with the set-pieces in the second quarter.

Bredase Hockey Vereniging pushed aggressively for the equaliser but success eluded them despite the hosts earning three PCs in the third quarter.

Kanika Siwach found the back of the net to double India’s lead in the fourth quarter following which the defenders did well to ward off several spirited attacks from the opponents in the last few minutes.
