After playing their opening match against DPR Korea where India outplayed them by 13-0, followed by a
roaring victory over Singapore
by 12-0, the young Indian girls are high on spirit to give a tough competition
to the host team. Whereas, China
is leaving no scope of any slip-ups at their end as they too would want to seal
a win against India .
Chinese eves beat DPR Korea by 11-0 in their first pool match.
The two teams had a head-on with each other at the Volvo
Invitational U-21 (Women) Tournament 2015 at Netherlands
where India lost to China
by 2-4. However, in tomorrow’s match the Indians are working
extensively to deal with China ’s
long passes and will aim to hold them in their half and thereby create maximum
goal-scoring prospects for themselves.
Speaking on their next clash against India , Coach Baljeet Singh said, “We have
played supremely well in the last matches and hope to continue the momentum in
the next clash against China .
Each match of the pool phase is important as it will help us to perform more
confidently in the knock-out phase. China is indeed a very strong team
and the girls will have to stick to their strategies and continue to motivate
themselves to play better from the last game played.”
Commenting on the team’s strength and strategies, Captain
Rani added, “I am really happy with the fact that we have won both the
matches played till now. This has made us even more confident of playing the
matches ahead. With a credit of defeating DPR Korea and Singapore with a huge goal margin 13-0 and 12- 0
respectively, we intend to replicate the results in the next match against China . We aim
for a better penalty corner conversion rate and make our attack even stronger
in the match tomorrow. We will aim to carry out our game strategies firmly
and look to win tomorrow’s clash.”
