India lost to Australia in the semi-final.
India fended off the Australia attack in the first half. It was a display of defensive efficiency as the Indians kept the home favourites at bay. But they could not do the same in the second half and it was as easy on the eye as it was heartbreaking for the Indians. Grace Stewart received a high ball inside the D and instead of trapping it, hit it straight to goal catching the Indians by surprised. The Indians retaliated bur Australia were just too strong. India will now face England for the bronze medal match on Saturday and the match will be at 6 AM.
