Rejuvenated India Eye Win Against Germany to Seal Paris Games Ticket

January 17, 2024 | Author: News Desk

Just one win away from securing a Paris Olympics berth, a resilient Indian women’s hockey team will need to produce its ‘A’ game against higher-ranked Germany in the semifinals of the FIH Olympic Qualifiers here on Thursday.

The Indians bounced back from a 0-1 loss to USA in their tournament-opener to outclass New Zealand and Italy to seal their semifinal spot as the second-placed team from Pool B.

It was a near-perfect performance in the last two matches with all departments clicking in unison and the Savita Punia-led side would look to continue the same way in the business end of the tournament.
