Less than 24 hours after a timid defeat to USA in their opening game of the FIH Women's Hockey Olympic Qualifiers here, India came up with a terrific performance to beat New Zealand 3-1 at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astroturf Hockey Stadium on Sunday.
It was as if Simdega, Jharkhand's cradle of hockey, came alive in Ranchi. Right from the moment Salima Tete went on a rousing run from the right flank to feed Sangita Kumari's goal within the first minute, up until Beauty Dungdung did the same from the left flank for India's third goal in the 14th minute.
And then there was birthday-girl Udita adding the cherry on the cake with a penalty corner (PC) conversion in the 12th minute of the action-packed first quarter that saw all the four goals.
