India vs England Commonwealth Games 2022 women's hockey schedule: Date, timings, squads & live streaming details

The India vs England women's hockey league match at the Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG 2022) will be played on August 2 at the University of Birmingham ground.

The match will be India's third league game. India and England have been grouped alongside Canada, Ghana and Wales in Pool A.

The Indian women's hockey team will begin their campaign on July 29 against Ghana.

The Savita Punia-led team has been working hard with hopes of bouncing back from an underwhelming FIH Women's World Cup campaign. The Indian hockey team finished joint-ninth with China at the FIH Women's World Cup.

With players such as penalty corner specialist Gurjit Kaur, goalkeeper and captain Savita and young star Lalremsiami, expect India to bounce back in Birmingham.

Meanwhile, England women exited the Women’s World Cup after a narrow defeat at the hands of eventual silver medallists Argentina. Dependable defenders Hollie Pearne-Webb, Laura Unsworth and Giselle Ansley provide a platform from which the speed merchants Hannah Martin, Lily Owsley and Ellie Rayer can attack. Tess Howard is turning into a force to be reckoned with in the circle.

England have never failed to win a medal in the women’s competition but, in front of a home crowd, this time the ambition has to be gold. They finished with a bronze medal in the 2018 edition.

Given the rivalry, the India vs England match promises to be a thriller.
