Sonam struck early in the game as India dominated the opening two quarters of the game before doubling down on the lead in the third quarter through Lalthantluangi. The hosts, however, clawed their way back into the game thanks to Goenns’ penalty stroke followed by another goal from Marte to level the game.

Kanika made her all-important strike on the back of a penalty corner count as she helped India retake the lead with just over six minutes left on the clock.

The Indian women held onto the slender lead to close out the game with aplomb, pushing their victorious streak to three on the trot.
