Women's FIH Hockey5s World Cup 2024: USA vs India preview, prediction and live streaming details
USA Women and India Women will lock horns in the 14th match of the inaugural Women’s FIH Hockey5s World Cup 2024 in Muscat, Oman on Wednesday, January 24.
USA Women will be brimming with confidence after earning a spot at the Paris Olympics. They ended the FIH Olympic Qualifiers at the second spot in the final standings and made a grand entry to the mega event.
Both India and the USA clashed against each other on January 13, 2024, when the latter came out on top by a 1-0 margin. However, the Women in Blue will be looking forward to turning the tables when they meet in this shorter format of the game.
On the other hand, India Women failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics. They ended the FIH Olympic Qualifiers in the fourth spot. They will be led by veteran goalkeeper Rajni Etimarpu, while defender Mahima Chaudhary will be her deputy.
For the unversed, Hockey5s is a faster version of traditional field hockey with each team fielding five players, including a goalkeeper. The game is played for 20 minutes split into two halves of 10 minutes apiece.
