    The Indian women's hockey team survived a severe test against New Zealand to win the bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Sunday. India led the match 1-0 for most parts of the match but saw New Zealand level the show right at the death in quarter 4. Olivia Merry converted the penalty stroke. Thereafter, India won the shootout 2-1.

    Salima's goal canceled out by Merry

    Salima Tete scored India's goal earlier in quarter 2 from a tight angle to hand her side the lead. India held on and looked to close out the match in a crunch end-to-end contest. However, Navneet Kaur committed foul in front of goal late on and India lost the referral. Merry converted the resulting penalty corner to force the game into a penalty shootout.

    Savita the hero for India in the shootout

    In the shootout, Savita made three superb saves to help keep India in the contest. In terms of goals, Sonita and Navneet Kaur put the ball past Kiwi keeper Grace O'Hanlon. NZ managed just one goal.

    A bronze for India
