FIH Pro League: The Indian women’s hockey team will aim to end the home leg of the FIH Pro League 2024-25 on a high as they prepare to face the reigning champions, the Netherlands at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium here on February 24 and 25.

After a series of mixed results, the Salima Tete-led Indian side is looking to build on their recent momentum and cause a major upset by toppling the high-flying Dutch team.

India opened their campaign with a thrilling 3-2 win over England but lost the second game in a 2-1 shootout after a 2-2 regular-time draw. Against Spain, India came agonisingly close but suffered back-to-back defeats, first losing 3-4 and then being edged out 1-0 in a tightly fought match.
