Elsewhere, from the dramatic land of the tournament, their opponents on the day Chile have had it tough. It’s been an arduous time for them to make it this far, defeating Uruguay 5-2 in their cross-over encounter to reach the semi-finals.

Probable Winner

Denise Krimerman and captain Camila Caram have been the main components of their road thus far, helping the side imbed in it a ruthless gameplan which has seen them rummage through goals galore. However, up against India, they face their toughest test till now with a side who are a tutelage in the attacking facet of the game.
What will work in India’s favour in this particular fixture is not only their technical acumen but the fact that they are a much more better defensive unit than Chile. The ability to shut out attacks will see India flourish and continue their journey in the final.
