India vs England Highlights, Women's Hockey World Cup 2022, Full score: India play out 1-1 draw against England

Preview: India take on England in their opening clash of the FIH Women’s Hockey World Cup 2022 in Amstelveen, Netherlands on Sunday.

India have been placed in Pool B alongside England, New Zealand and China.

India will be led by Savita Punia, and they will be eyeing revenge in their opening contest, having lost 3-4 to Great Britain in the bronze medal match at the Tokyo Olympics last year.

India’s best finish at the Women’s Hockey World Cup was a fourth-place finish at the inaugural edition in 1974.

However, India have been on a rise since their inspired Tokyo Olympics performance last year, even finishing third at the FIH Pro League in June this year.

Rani Rampal has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the Tokyo Games last year, and Savita has been leading by example. India even achieved their best-ever ranking of sixth in May.
