Shanea Tonkin (13th minute) and Rachael Frusher (19th) scored for Western Australia, while Preeti Dubey struck for India 'A' in the 56th minute. Though India got off to a steady start, Western Australia put them on the back foot with a 13th minute field goal by Shanea Tonkin fetching her team a 1-0 lead in the first quarter. The score was further improvised when a defensive error in the circle saw India concede a pelty corner in the 19th minute. Frusher made no mistake with her drag-flick to make it 2-0. After the 10-minute half-time break, India came back with a better defence structure to keep the Western Australia forwards from making easy forays into the striking circle. This worked as no goal was scored in this quarter.
