Indian Women's Hockey team won the bronze medal in the Commonwealth Games after 16 years

The Indian Women's Hockey team won the bronze medal in the Commonwealth Games after 16 years. A video of the players of the Indian women's team celebrating this has surfaced. In which women hockey players are seen swinging happily. The song is playing... listen carefully, people of the world... don't cast an evil eye on us. Fans are very fond of this style of Indian women players.
Indian women's hockey team won the bronze medal by defeating New Zealand in the Commonwealth Games 2022. At the end of the stipulated time in the match, both the teams were tied at 1-1. India then won the match 2-1 in a penalty shootout. Earlier in 2006, the Indian women's hockey team won the silver medal in the Commonwealth. After the start of the match, India scored the first goal in the 29th minute.
This goal was scored by Salima Tete. After the third quarter, India was 1-0 up. New Zealand equalized after scoring the first goal in the last minute. The winner was decided by a penalty shootout between the two teams. India won the match 2-1 in the penalty shootout. Indian goalkeeper Savita saved four goals in the shootout.
This style of players is also being seen as a response to the controversial defeat against Australia. In fact, it was the semi-final of women's hockey on Friday and we had a chance to reach the final of the Commonwealth Games after 20 years at the British home.
But India lost 3-0 in the penalty shootout against Australia. Here Team India did not lose due to poor performance. Rather, the referee's bias dented Indian hopes.
The India-Australia semi-final match was drawn after a penalty shoot-out was underway and both the teams were tied 1-1. Savita had foiled an attempt by Australian striker Rosie Malone. Now India had a chance to take the lead.
But the time clock could not start on time and the referee gave the Australians one more chance. Whereas there was no fault of Team India in this. Here the accountability of the organizers and the Hockey Federation was there. Even after this, the decision remained in favour of Australia. Malone made no mistake in capitalizing on the second chance.
After this defeat, the frustration of Captain Savita Poonia came out as tears in her eyes. He said that 'we will take some time to recover from this defeat. It was a close match. We worked hard, but now we have the last chance for the bronze medal.
Savita had further said that as a captain and senior player, now I want to forget this defeat and move forward. So that the team prepares for the bronze medal match against New Zealand. According to Savita, the team won the bronze medal match and there is a celebration in that happiness...
