CWG 2022: With Clash Against England, Indian Women's Hockey Team Gears Up For First Real Test

Revenge will be on Indian women hockey team's mind when it takes on England in Birmingham on Tuesday, in what will be its first real test at the ongoing Commonwealth Games. The Indians have registered back-to-back victories -- 5-0 over Ghana and 3-1 against Wales -- in their first two Pool A matches but the Savita Punia-led side was far from convincing in their displays. But come Tuesday, there should be extra motivation for India as it is the same English side, which had dashed their medal hopes at the Tokyo Olympics. The team came tantalisingly close to winning its maiden Olympic medal before losing 3-4 to England in the bronze medal play-off match.
