India Vs England:

According to the Schedule Issued by FIH( International Hockey Federation) Asia Cup champions and world’s no. 10 team India will open their campaign against worlds no. 2 champions England on the first day of the event on July 21.

India VS Ireland:

After England, the Indian champions will next face Ireland on July 26. Worlds no. 16 champion is bit easier to beat because Indians have better victory record but nothing is impossible. So the match would be challenging.

India Vs USA:

In the last pool encounter India would deal with No. 7 champion USA at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on 29 of July.

Indian women’s team chief coach Harendra Singh said“ Every match at the World Cup is important and each match needs to be played like a final, We look forward to the challenge in Pool B. USA and England are ranked above us but the Indian women’s team is on the rise with confidence-boosting performances in the past few months. He added that “We have set our sights on Mission Women’s Hockey World Cup 2018 and all our training will be focused on peaking at the prestigious tournament”.

Beside India, don’t forgot to enjoy the battle of world champion The Netherlands with Asian giants China, Korea and rising European side Italy in Pool A. I am going to book tickets, so what are your plans ?
