- Hinch unbeaten as England beat New Zealand 2-0 on penalties
- Hosts will face Australia in final after they win India shootout
England beat New Zealand on penalties to stay on course for a first women’s hockey Commonwealth Games gold medal. Isabelle Petter and Hannah Martin scored in the shootout as the goalkeeper Maddie Hinch refused to be beaten with a series of brilliant saves and afterwards professed to “love penalties”.
The sides could not be separated in 60 intense minutes, playing out a goalless draw that was a repeat of the bronze-medal match in Australia four years ago when New Zealand won on penalties. The Black Sticks also beat England 3-1 in the World Cup last month.
