Stratford (New Zealand), Nov 7 (IANS) Indian junior women’s hockey team will take on New Zealand in the third of the six-match Test series at the TET Multisports Centre here Saturday.
India lost 1-2 in the opening encounter before putting up a brave fight to hold New Zealand girls 2-2 in the second game.
The young squad led by defender Deep Grace Ekka is determined to come up with a much more convincing display Saturday.
“The team has been consistently giving a fair attempt in the previous matches.
