India Aims to Fine-Tune Play Against Thailand in ACT Women’s Hockey

After securing two consecutive wins in the ongoing Women’s Asian Champions Trophy, India is now focused on refining the finer aspects of their game as they prepare to face Thailand on Thursday. The hosts, eager to maintain their unbeaten streak, will look to build on their momentum and deliver a commanding victory against the minnows.
Both India and China, the reigning Olympic silver medalists, have won their opening two matches, but India currently trails China in the points table due to a lower goal difference. China leads with a goal difference of +20, while India stands at +5. With the final two round-robin matches against China and Japan still to come, a strong performance against Thailand is crucial for improving India’s goal difference and securing a favorable position ahead of the knockout stage.
Strategic Focus on Performance
India’s coach emphasized the importance of working on the team’s defensive and offensive strategies to ensure they dominate in the upcoming matches. The team is looking to make a statement with a big win against Thailand to gain confidence for the tougher challenges ahead, particularly the clashes with China and Japan, which are expected to be intense.
As the tournament progresses, India will look to fine-tune their play and capitalize on every opportunity to improve their standing ahead of the final stages.
