Indian hockey eves lose 1-4 to Argentina
Buenos Aires: The Indian women’s hockey team lost their second and final successive match of their exposure tour 1-4 to Argentina here.
An aggressive Argentina team closed the game with a smashing performance on Wednesday evening after drawing the first match 2-2 on Tuesday.
The Argentinean outfit attacked India from the start and within the first eight minutes Martina Cavallero scored the first goal. The South Americans continued to dominate with Pilar Romang scoring their second goal in the second quarter of the game.
In the next 20 minutes, Noel Barrionuevo scored Arentina’s third goal.
The third quarter saw India score their lone goal, which came from the stick of Vandana Katarya.
However, Noel Barrionuevo put it beyond India’s reach as she scored another goal in the last quarter to hand the home team a convincing 4-1 victory.
“Argentina was playing an extremely attacking game. The girls were well prepared for the match and made all possible efforts but again we believe there are certain areas which need attention. We are still two matches away from closing this tour and we are confident of putting forward a great show,” India chief coach Neil Hawgood said.
India next play the Under-21 Argentine team on Thursday.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
