It won't be wrong to say that revenge will be on India's mind as they lost to England in the bronze medal match at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. However, England are a top side, and they have all the ammunition to upset India, who are going to be without the services of talismanic forward Rani Rampal, who is currently injured.


India will be led by Savita Punia in the absence of Rampal.


Head-To-Head


  • England women have the upper hand against India women when it comes to head-to-head record. Out of seven matches played between the two teams, England have won three and lost one. Three games ended in draws.

Placed in Pool B, India will next face China on July 5 and New Zealand on July 7. The Women in Blue will play all their pool matches at the Wagener Hockey Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands in the event to be held from July 1 to 17.


Interestingly, India’s best position finish – fourth —  at the World Cup dates back to 1974 and since then, they have failed to improve upon it. On the other hand, England's best result in the World Cup is a bronze medal in the 2010 edition in Rosario, Argentina.


England are placed fourth in world rankings while India are in sixth position.
