India Women face a mighty opponent in the Netherlands in their Pool E game at Amstelveen later today. The match starts at 09:30 pm IST. On Thursday, India were lucky to get a draw against England and qualify from Pool D as the second-best team after China. England had 11 penalty corners throughout the game but couldn’t convert even one into a goal.
India, too, had a lively first quarter, but after that they lost steam. In the last two quarters, Salima Tete’s women were totally on the defensive, but thankfully, despite the English aggression, they were lucky not to concede a goal. However, today it’s going to be a really tough game as they are up against the WC winners from the last three editions.
India vs Netherlands LIVE Score: It will take a miracle even to hold them to a draw. India Women will really have to improve on their game against England yesterday. Another day like that and the Dutch will run through them. It's not that India can't get a nice result against them but for that they will have to up the ante big time.
