Canberra [Australia], September 30 (ANI): The Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team won their second consecutive match of their tour of Australia, when they defeated Canberra Chill 3-1, at the National Hockey Centre, Canberra. For India, the goals came from Ishika (13', 39') and Sonam (27').
India went a goal down in the first quarter when Naomi Evans (11') converted a Penalty Corner for the hosts, but bounced back within the next couple of minutes, with a goal from Ishika (13'), which was also a Penalty Corner.
Locked at 1-1, the two teams continued to hunt for the next goal, and it was India who got their noses out in front, just before half time, as Sonam (27') scored a field goal, making it 2-1, as per a release from Hockey India.
Midway through the third quarter, India added a third goal, as Ishika (39') completed her brace and gave her side a 3-1 lead. From then on, India kept their opponents at bay and walked off with the win.
India, who have now won two games and lost two games in Australia so far, will play their final tour match against Canberra Chill on 2nd October.
