The Indian hockey team is all set to open their Women's Hockey World Cup 2022 campaign tonight. Led by goalkeeper Savita Punia in the absence of Rani Rampal, the Indian girls will take on England in their opening encounter.
The last time India and England women clashed inside a hockey field was the bronze medal match of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Indian women will surely be eyeing for a revenge for that narrow 3-4 loss in Tokyo. But will they manage to start their campaign on a winning note?
Stay tuned for all the latest updates!

35' - ENGLAND MISSES!
A beautiful play created from the left flank, but the final deflection goes wide for England. They managed to open up the Indian defence, but unfortunately it doesn't work out.

33' - Salima Tete fails to cross
A good run in the right flank from Salima Tete, but by the time she tries to cross she is surrounded. Does not connect it well either and gifts the possession away.

32' - Slow start to second half
A slow and calm start to the second half with both sides happy to bide their time for now.

HALF TIME!
That's the end of the first half and India have done extremely well to draw level just before the hooter. They were clearly the more dominant side with constant attacks and would surely be disappointed on their failures to convert multiple PCs.
England, on the other hand, started off well but have gifted away PCs like philanthropists. They need to address this quickly or the Indians would be all over them pretty soon.
IND 1-1 ENG

30' - SAVED!
Another dragflick from India and another save from Maddie Hinch. The English goalie has done a lot of the heavy lifting for her team so far.

30' - PC, INDIA!
England errs once again inside the circle and India are smart enough to push it to the foot of an English defender and earn one more PC.

28' - INDIA EQUALISEEEE!
The dragflick is blocked again, but this time Vandana Katariya finds herself in a perfect position to slot the rebound in with a perfect shot. India open their account in 2022 Women's Hockey World Cup and they equalise.

28' - PC, INDIA!
A freehit for India from a promising position and they manage to convert it to a PC. Can they finally score?
