In the 36th minute, Australia found the opening goal through a successful penalty corner by Bianca Zurrer. Australia then extended their lead with another penalty corner goal, this time courtesy of Evie Sransby in the 45th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The tour will provide valuable exposure for the young Indian squad, allowing them to test their skills in international conditions against strong teams. The team played a similar tour in Europe back in June, where they faced Belgium, Australia, and the Netherlands over five matches. India showed prowess as they defeated Belgium three games in a row, followed by a win against Australia and a bitter shootout loss against the Netherlands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
