India held to 1-1 draw by China in the FIH Women's Hockey World Cup 2022

AMSTELVEEN: India were held to a 1-1 draw by China in a match in which both teams were jittery, made too many mistakes in the Pool B encounter and struggled for real threats on goal in the FIH Women's Hockey World Cup 2022 here on Tuesday.

Zheng Jiali put China ahead in the 25th minute after a goalless first quarter. Vandana Katariya equalised for India in the 44th minute with a superb deflection off a penalty corner. India survived some anxious moments despite having an extra player on the field in the last five minutes as the match ended in a stalemate.

India will now have to win their last Pool B encounter against New Zealand on Thursday and hope China fail to get the better of England in their final encounter. IANS
