Hockey at the 2022 Commonwealth Games: Preview, Schedule, Indian players, Where to Watch, Live Stream

Preview

In all the six editions in which Hockey has been a part of the Commonwealth Games, the Australian teams have been an unrivalled side. Both the men's and women's teams from down under have been tough to overcome at the games.

While the Australian men have clinched the gold medal in all the six editions in which hockey has been a part, the women have won four gold medals, a silver, and a bronze. This alone makes both sides serious contenders for the top prize.

If we take a look at the Indian contingent, both teams have high hopes of attaining a podium finish, if not the gold medal. The men's team had their best performances in the 2010 and 2014 editions of the Commonwealth Games where they won the silver medal, the mighty Australians getting the better of them both times.

The women in blue will be aiming to recreate the golden performance of the 2002 Manchester games after an underwhelming showing at the 2022 World Cup. Janneke Schopman's girls are up against England, Canada, Wales, and Ghana in their group stage. The men are with the same teams for their group matches as well but they are in Pool B.
