New Delhi, Aug 4 - Monorama Devi converted a last minute penalty corner to give India a 3-2 win over Australia in their opening game of the Women's Junior World Cup Hockey in Boston.

Ritu Rani (45th) and Monika Badran (53rd minute) were the other scorers for India while Casey Eastham (31st) and Marnie Hudson (60th minute) were the scorers for Australia in Monday's match, according to information received here.

It was a tough game for India, who were eleventh in the last edition of the tournament, but they did well in the second half by pumping in all the three goals.

The Australians, who finished fourth four years ago, had ten penalty corners. Indian goalkeeper Jasdeep Kaur thwarted the first four attempts but was finally beaten in the 30th minute with a drag-flick by Eastham as the Jillaroos took the lead 1-0.
