INDIA LOSES!
That's the end of the misery for Salima Tete's India. They did have their chances early on in the match but failed to break the Dutch defence much like all the other teams in this World Cup so far. Netherlands scored once in the first quarter and then saved their energy to net twice in the final quarter to all but end India's hope of their best-ever World Cup finish.
Take nothing away from the Indian defenders and goalkeeper Bichu Devi though, all of whom were absolutely exceptional to ward of multiple threats from the relentless Holland attackers.
Right then, Netherlands are the first finalists of the 2022 Women's Junior Hockey World Cup.

58' - PC, NETHERLANDS!
Priyanka seemed to have intercepted a long pass from the right flank well, but the striker inside the circle applies some pressure on the Indian and earns a PC.

57' - GREEN CARD, SALIMA TETE!
A dangerous challenge from Salima Tete and off she goes for 2 minutes. That was frustration at display there by the Indian captain. Down to 10 players are the girls in blue.
IND 0-3 NED

54' - Jip Dicke SCORESSS!
Make that 3 for the evening. A beautiful team goal from the Netherlands which is deflected in by Jip Dicke. Lousy defending on that occasion from India, who were just recovering from the previous goal.
IND 0-3 NED

53' - NETHERLANDS SCORESSS
A stunning pass from the right flank to the Dutch number 11 Luna Fokke who runs inside the circle and is one a 1v1 against Bichu Devi. Reverse flicks it with ease to extend their lead.
This should be it for India then.
IND 0-2 NED

52' - Nothing going India's way
The Indians are constantly on the high press, but there's nothing really going their way at the moment. They have not been able to create any meaningful chance either.
