Commonwealth Games 2022 Day 10 LIVE: Savita leads India's women's hockey team to a deserving bronze

 

The India women’s hockey team came back from two shockers, the first of the controversial penalty shoot-out lost in the semi-final against Australia and then conceding a penalty strike in the last minute of the bronze medal match against New Zealand. 

 

After New Zealand women equalised with the strike and scored in the first shoot-out, it seemed like Indian women will once again finish without a medal after showing so much promise. But Savita Punia, the Indian goalkeeper and captain had other ideas as she saved each White Fern shot after that. Taking inspiration from her, Navneet and Sonika scored for India as the team won the match 2-1 in the Shootout after drawing it 1-1 in regulation time.
