Hina Bano drifted with the ball from the right and weaved past the defenders before cooly finishing the move with a shot past Grace O Hanlon!
What a start this is from Soorma! They have one foot in the final already, inside the first 10 minutes!

1' SOORMA MAKE IT 1-0 INSIDE THE FIRST MINUTE!
SOORMA HOCKEY CLUB 1-0 BENGAL TIGERS
OMG what just happened!!!
Soorma were pressing high and all of a sudden, a sloppy pass from the Tigers meant the loose ball was in Charlotte Engelbert's range and she parries it into goal!
It took Soorma just 43 seconds to press on their advantage.
What a start to this match!

Soorma has the advantage, but it is not a guarantee
While Soorma leads Bengal by three points, an outright defeat could flip the table in Bengal's favor.
Soorma needs a draw in regulation time or an outright win to set up a final clash against Odisha Warriors.
Who will take the second finalist spot for the inaugural edition of WHIL?
