The Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team remained undefeated on their South Africa tour thus far, recording a 4-4 draw against the South Africa team in their first match of the tour against the A team last night. Prior to this, the Indian team defeated South Africa's U-21 team in all three matches.

The ongoing South Africa Tour is part of the team's preparations for the crucial Asia Cup U21, which serves as a qualifier for the upcoming FIH Women's Hockey Junior World Cup.

The match began with Quanita Bobbs (1’, 31’) and Biamca Wood (6’) taking an early lead against the Indians but quick responses from Neelam (7’) and Deepika Sr. (8’, 30+’) restored parity before Taranpreet Kaur (25’) and Deepika scored to put the Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team in a commanding position.

The lead was squandered in the second half by goals from Quanita Bobbs and Tarryn Lombard (47'), and the game ended in a draw.

With this draw, the Indian juniors team is undefeated on their tour to South Africa and they play South Africa 'A' next.
