The English side started the game aggressively and earned back-to-back Penalty Corners in the second minute of the first quarter. Giselle Ansley converted the second Penalty Corner and helped England take the lead at 1-0 in the third minute. Soon after, Salima Tete made a fantastic run in the right flank, but she couldn't find the back of the net.
It was a disappointing outing for India who entered the match with revenge on their mind as England defeated them in the bronze medal match in the 2018 CWG edition by a 6-0 margin, denying them a podium finish.
It is also the same English side, which had dashed India's medal hopes at the Tokyo Olympics last year, beating them 4-3 in the bronze medal play-off match.
Prior to this outing, the Indians had registered back-to-back victories – 5-0 over Ghana and 3-1 against Wales – in their first two Pool A matches.
