TOKYO: The Indian women's hockey team went down fighting 1-4 in their Pool A match against defending champions Great Britain, and with only two game remaining, — against Ireland and South Africa on July 30 and 31 respectively — qualification for the knockouts is getting tougher for the Rani Rampal-led side.
India now have to win both their games to qualify for the quarterfinals here.
India's lone goal on Wednesday came from the stick of Sharmila Devi in the 23rd minute. India have lost all three Pool A matches so far. India were thrashed by the Netherlands 1-5, before they came up with a much-improved show against Germany, losing 0-2, and on Wednesday, they lost to Great Britain by another big margin. IANS
