India loses to South Africa
New Delhi: India's dismal show continued at the FIH women's Champions Challenge 1 tournament at Dublin, Ireland as it lost 0-2 to South Africa in a 5-8 position match on Saturday.
South Africa scored once in each half through world record goalscorer Pietie Coetzee from a penalty corner in the 23rd minute and Lesle-Ann George in the 67th minute.
Indian strikers — Saba Anjum, Rani Rampal, Jasjeet Kaur Handa and Chanchan Devi failed to find their rhythm and cohesion in the attacks.
The match was played under wet and drizzly conditions with India getting few chances in the soggy atmosphere.
South Africa was thwarted by Indian goalkeeper Yogita Bali who saved a penalty stroke taken by Coetzee in the 28th minute.
India will now play Azerbaijan for the 7-8 position. — PTI
