In Hockey, the Indian women’s team will take on the Netherlands in the first match of the second pool phase of the FIH World Cup at Amstelveen today. The match will start at 9:30 PM Indian time.

Earlier, India advanced to the second round after playing out a goalless draw against England in their final Pool D match yesterday. Both teams created opportunities but failed to find the back of the net, with India’s defence holding firm throughout the contest. India stopped multiple penalty corners from England, especially during a tense second half. The draw helped India, led by Salima Tete, seal a vital second-place finish in Pool D.
