It is a big day in Indian hockey today as the women's team has the chance to not only qualify for the final of the ongoing Hockey Paris Olympics qualifiers but also book a spot in the Games later this year with win in the semi-final. They are up against a strong outfit like Germany and it will be a huge task for the Indian team to overcome but not something which is impossible.

India began their campaign with a shock defeat to USA but they played well to beat New Zealand and Italy in the next two matches to qualify for the semi-finals. But their biggest test comes now. 


It is important to note that even if India lose today, their hopes to book the ticket to Paris will not end. The top 3 teams are going to qualify from these qualifiers. If India lose the semifinal today, they will face either Japan or USA in the third-place match. If India win that game, they will become the third team to go to Paris Olympics.


But it will not be easy vs Germany, who are in great form. In this tournament, they have scored 14 goals, 10 of these were scored vs Czech Republic. They conceded only once against Japan and finished the group with two wins and one draw. India will need two of their stars so far in the tournament in form of Salima Tete and Udita to shine.
