Amstelveen, July 7

India suffered a 3-4 loss to New Zealand in their final group match in hockey’s Women’s World Cup to finish third in Pool B. India, however, progressed into the knockout stage by avoiding the fourth place in the pool by edging out China on goal difference.

India went 1-0 up in the third minute through Vandana Katariya before New Zealand struck back hard to lead 3-1. Lalremsiami reduced the lead to 2-3 in the 43rd minute and Gurjit Kaur scored with a drag-flick in the 58th to reduce the deficit to 3-4. After New Zealand dominated early possession, India took the lead when a diving Vandana deflected the ball in after a flick by Lalremsiami. — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
