India v/s England in Women's Hockey World Cup- All you need to know.
Indian women's hockey team will take on hosts England in their opening match of the World Cup at Lee Valley Hockey Center on July 21.
Reflecting on the opening match, Indian skipper Rani asserted confidence and said that the pressure will be on England and not on the Indian side.
"They will have the home ground advantage but we are not new to playing in front of big crowds. We have done well against England before and we will carry the confidence of doing well in our recent tournaments including the CWG where we had tasted victory against England in the Group Stage in Gold Coast. We will go into the match with the belief that we can beat them," Rani said.
She further said that the Indian team should only make sure that they don't make silly mistakes as it did in the Bronze Medal match at the Commonwealth Games (CWG).
"We have had good match practice against two of the top teams in the World. The team is upbeat and excited ahead of the first match and right now, our only focus is to do well against England. We have played the USA and Ireland too in the past and have a specific game plan against them. But for now, our focus is on the first match," she added.
India's previous appearance at the International Hockey Federation (FIH) World Cup was in 2010 when the event was held in Argentina. Then, Rani played a central role in India's ninth-place performance as she had scored a maximum of seven goals for the team during the course of the tournament.
India is grouped in Pool B along with world number 16 Ireland, world number 7 USA and world number 2 England.
The 14th edition of the women's hockey world cup is scheduled to be held from July 21 to August 5 in London, England.
