Skipper Rani, Monika, Deepika and Navjot Kaur held their nerves to score in the tense penalty shootout late last night that saw them through after the two sides were locked 2-2 at the end of the regulation time. India got off to a good start and took the lead with skipper Rani scoring as early as in the sixth minute.
