India were held to a 1-1 draw by China, their second consecutive identical result in Pool B, at the FIH Women's Hockey World Cup in Amstelveen on Tuesday.
Jiali Zheng gave China the lead in the 26th minute before Vandana Katariya equalised for India in the 45th minute. India drew 1-1 against Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist England in their tournament opener.
The Indians had the better share of possession in the first two quarters and had more chances but their efforts didn't result into goals.
The Chinese, on the other hand, waited for counter-attacks to breach the Indian defence. In the ninth minute, Navneet Kaur had the first shot at goal after combining well with Vandana Katariya but her effort was saved by Chinese goalkeeper Liu Ping.
