Tokyo: The Indian women's hockey team held Australia to a 2-2 draw in their second round-robin match of the Olympic Test Event at the Oi Hockey Stadium here on Sunday.
In the hard-fought encounter, Kaitlin Nobbs (14') and Grace Stewart (43') scored for world number two side Australia, while India's Vandana Katariya (36') and Gurjit Kaur (59') found the target.
India started the match aggressively, matching Australia's attacking hockey with their own which saw both teams earn penalty corners. However, neither managed to score.
The Indian team will now face China on August 20 in their third and last round-robin match of the tournament.
