Indian women's hockey team could not produce the performance of their opening match against Japan as Great Britain convincingly overpowered them 3-0 in the second match of the Olympic Games on Tuesday Aug 09,2016
After a cautious first quarter, the English women who are the London 2012 bronze medalists, unleashed their fury by scoring within two minutes in the second quarter.
Giselle Ansley pierced through captain Sushila Chanu and goalkeeper Savita Punia to sound the board with a powerful dragflick breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute.
Before the Neil Hawgwood-coached team could settle down, it was Nicola White whose deft strike made it 2-0.
The third half too went against India with Alex Danson making it 3-0 in the 33rd minute with some effortless dribbling as Indian women had no answer to them.
India, who drew against Japan 2-2 in their last match, next face Australia (August 10), the USA (August 11) and Argentina (August 13) in their remainder league matches.
