Confident start by Indian women at the World Cup
s2h team
When India defeated the reigning Olympic gold medallist England at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games early in the year, it lapsed into recess of memory as a one-off burst. It was perceived so because India went down tamely within days when they again met for the Bronze. Now, its time to forget the drubbing as the one-off and the real strength is the defeat of England. Indian girls thus improved their image when the thousands in the stands failed to get their home team thrash India. Contrarily, India braved the stands, and the Rio image of England to force a creditable 1-1 show.
