India manage an attack down the left!!
The Indians do well to deny space to the Dutch as the Orange Army retreats after a string of business like passes. Neha crosses one in - the eves are not going to be bogged down for sure

THE INVINCIBLE DUTCH
Max Caldas transformed the Dutch women's team who went on to win a Golden Triple (Olympics 2012, Hockey World League 2013, Hockey World Cup 2014) titles. Caldas is now with the Dutch Men's team but the girls from the Netherlands are just as indomitable as before.
Can the Indian girls make a match out of their exceedingly tough opener??
