Speaking ahead of the Super4s, Indian Women’s Hockey Team Coach Harendra Singh said, “We are pleased with the way the team has started the tournament. The players have shown good intent, maintained discipline, and capitalised on our attacking opportunities.

The Pool stage gave us a good platform to build momentum and test ourselves against different styles of play. However, the Super4s stage will be a different challenge altogether as we face strong opponents like Korea, China, and Japan.

“Our focus will be on sticking to our structure, being sharp in defence, and making the most of our chances in front of goal. We know that in this stage there is little room for error, so consistency and composure will be key.

The players are motivated, they understand the responsibility of wearing the Indian jersey, and they are eager to continue the momentum. If we play to our potential and trust our process, I am confident we can achieve the results we are aiming for.”
