The Delhi SG Pipers had a good start to the second quarter as they won their first penalty corner of the match. Deepika’s drag flick was turned away brilliantly by Bengal Tigers goalkeeper Jennifer Rizzo. The Tigers took the lead in the 21st minute through Mullan. The Irish player did really well to bring the ball to the edge of the circle, and with her back to the goal, beat goalkeeper Bansari Solanki.
