India Lose 0-2 To England In Final Of Hockey World Cup 2026 Qualifiers
The Indian women's hockey team finished in second place at the FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 Qualifiers, succumbing to a 0-2 defeat to England in the final at the G. M. C. Balayogi Hockey Ground in Hyderabad on Saturday. Grace Balsdon (13’) and Elizabeth Neal (43’) found the back of the net for England.
India began the game on the front foot with Navneet Kaur helping her side earn a penalty corner within the opening two minutes. However, her drag flick from the resulting set piece was kept out by the England goalkeeper. The hosts showed great discipline, maintaining a solid defensive shape while also making inroads on the end of the field.
