Disagree...India women beat the same Aussies in Olympic quarterfinal and now held them 1-1 in this semis which they eventually won on penalty shootout.

A crucial umpring error can have an adverse effect on any team morale in such a big game.

Kudos to our team...getting better and competing with big teams regularly....

Kudos to the Indian girls they played well however Australia was the better team this around, and was the deserving winner.

In regards to tokyo olympics a good result by indian women but that was last year. We are talking about the match from yesturday and australia did end up winning.

Bangladesh doesn’t really have a sporting culture, things that would help them eliminate poverty such as one culture/ethnicity ends up being the reason for their poor show in sports as well.

BD is a South Asian powerhouse in economy but at the same time they absolutely seem to have zero sporting culture.

Wrestling is improving in Pakistan it seems. If not 2024, 2028 they can target a medal in wrestling. It is relatively easier to pic a medal in this event because of 4 bronze repechage chances given.
