The Indian women's hockey team continued its FIH Pro League 2024-25 campaign with the reverse fixture against England at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar on Sunday.
The Indian team, fresh from a win in its opening fixture of the season, was aiming to maintain its winning momentum at the first leg of the FIH Pro League season at home.
As it happened:
England women's team won the second match of the Bhubneshwar leg in a shootout against India, adding 2 crucial points on the leaderboard.
Whereas, India came from behind to draw the match and confirm at least one point from the match at full-time but in the end, failed to convert the penalty shootout.
The Indian team will now take on Spain on 18th February.
India made a brilliant run from the re-start and after England failed to convert a long ball it released an unmarked Rutuja, who took her time and find the back of the net.
India 2-2 England
