Tokyo 2020 Highlights: Valiant India lose bronze medal match to Rio Olympics gold medalist Great Britain

Excellent ball from Neha to Rani Rampal, but the India captain took a lot of time to enter the circle, and the attack was fizzled out.

SAVED! Savita makes a fantastic save to keep that out -- it was hit directly at the goal. Fantastic save.

PC! A pass inside the circle touches Gurjit Kaur's leg and first attack into the D resulted in penalty corner to Great Britain.

Navneet Kaur tried to make the run down the right, she kept the ball a fractiojn too long, did not find support and lost the possession.

Rani Rampal and Vandana Katariya will be key players for India in this bronze medal match. Great Britain attacking from left from right. First five minutes very important.

Play begins... the match is underway. This is a big, big match for India's Olympic contingent. Keep your eyes glued to the match.

The players are out in the middle for the National Anthems - look at the intensity in the eyes of the players. This means so much to them. This is it the moment they had been waiting for.

In 10 minutes, there will be history on the cards. Perhaps the biggest hockey match in the country's history will be played.

While coach Sjoerd Marijne's team got off to a poor start to the tournament, losing their first three games, they found their rhythm and form just at the right team. With wins over Ireland and South Africa in the group stage, India women's team booked a ride to the quarterfinals, where they shocked Australia to earn their first-ever semifinals berth, but could not reach the final as they went down to Argentina 1-2.

The men's hockey team defeated Germany 5-4 in an enthralling affair to win the bronze medal on Thursday. Can the women's hockey team keep the good news coming?
