Indian Women’s Hockey team lost a hard-fought match 0-1 to hosts New Zealand in Auckland on Wednesday. Last week, India had registered a 4-0 win in their first match against the New Zealand Development squad, but lost 1-2 in the following closely fought match on Monday.

“Today we tried a few things on the defensive side and that allowed New Zealand to come in our circle and create opportunities but it’s better to practice these variations now in the matches as this Tour is more about our preparations for the Olympic Games and see how we can be better,” explained Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne after the match. Now, the team is looking forward to the next match against Great Britain scheduled on February 4.
