India finished fourth in the Women Junior Hockey World Cup by losing to England 0-3 in shootout after play in the regulation time of their bronze medal match ended in 2-2 draw in Potchefstroom, South Africa today.
With this win, England not only claimed the bronze medal, but also avenged the identical defeat they had suffered in the bronze-medal match against India in the 2013 edition of the quadriennial competition.
India played the bronze-medal match in the current edition after going down 0-3 to the Netherlands in the semifinals on April 10. The heart-breaking loss to England means India would have to wait for another four years for the second medal in the Women Junior World Cup.
