Marlow (UK): Great Britain women’s hockey team levelled the series against India 1-1 after defeating the visitors 3-1 on Wednesday. Great Britain’s first victory in the series was set off with an early goal scored by Hannah Martin providing the hosts with the momentum.

India however put a check to Great Britain’s dominance to make the score 1-1 thanks to Neha Goyal.

After winning its first penalty corner in the third minute, the hosts, however, did not lose momentum and Great Britain went 2-1 up on the scoreboard in the 29th minute.

The second half started off with both teams on the offence, but no goal was scored for quite a while with defenders of both squads doing a commendable job.

Though both teams struggled to score, the last quarter gave Great Britain a penalty and Giselle Ansley did not disappoint her side and took the match further away from India.
