Active voice: India expected to win the match.
Passive voice( book answer): It was expected by India that they would win the match.
My answer : India expected the match to be won.
2#
Active : I expect her to finish the task.
Active(book answer): I expect the task to be finished by her.

For the first sentence(1#) book shows only one answer but i think my answer is also correct. I just changed the sentence into passive voice
as book changed second sentence(2#) into passive.

Is my answer correct? As i think are both the sentences grammatically same.?

taruns1008 India expected the match to be won. That does not say who they expected the match to be won by. The book answer is grammatically correct, but it is not likely to be said by native speakers.
