First Half: Team India fell behind after taking the lead
After making it to the semi-finals by winning two big and tough matches against Australia and Great Britain, the morale of the Indian team was high. Team India took this high spirit to the field and made a great start and got a penalty corner in the third minute itself. However, not a single goal could be scored in it. After this, India got 3 consecutive penalty corners between the seventh and eighth minutes and captain Harmanpreet scored a goal with a mischievous drag flick in the third minute to give Team India the lead.
