In the first few minutes of the match, they took a lead with 1-0. Though India earned a couple of penalty corners they did not use it well.  The Indian defenses were playing hard but the attacks needed enhancement.  

Unlike Australia who used every chance they got and made the most out of it as Georgina Morgan was striking hard at the goals and gained more for her team. At the end of second quarter Australia was on the lead with 2-0 on the board.

In the third quarter it was back to back goals from Australia putting them on a 4-0 lead and made it difficult for India to win the game. Savita, the Indian goalie tried all her best but was rarely successful in saving the shots. Kenny, the Australian player added one more on their card by making use of the penalty corner. It was 5-0, much favorable for Australia.
