The Indian women's hockey team got their numbers wrong in more ways than one following an internal miscommunication that contributed to the team's exit from the medal rounds of the Commonwealth Games on Saturday.
India needed to beat South Africa by a four-goal margin to advance to the semi-final on superior goal-difference, but eventually won 3-1. However, manager of the team Rupa Saini informed the players that they had to win by over seven goals, according to coach Sandeep Somesh.
"Had we known that we had to win by a four-goal margin, we might have approached the game differently," said Somesh.
