Both teams were on the verge of making their own history in different perspective, but it was Ireland who did it ultimately. What they could not do when they hosted the World Cup three decades ago at Dublin, they did it today in London. After goalless full time, the surprise pack Ireland struck thrice in the shoot out while India missed first three before Rena Kokkar striking but it was too late, as Chole Watkins would score in the fifth quota of her nation, leaving India not to take the last ball. What they could do was to challenge whether the goal was struck within 8 seconds, using the referral with them, but the ball was home just 0-3 seconds before deadline time. That's it for India. Their semi-final dream will wait now another four years meaning 48 years.
