India began their Women’s Hockey World Cup 2026 campaign with a 2-2 draw against China in their opening Pool D match. Navneet Kaur and Deepika scored for India as the team fought back to secure a valuable point. China also found the net twice, keeping the contest closely balanced until the final whistle. India showed attacking intent but struggled to convert opportunities consistently. The result gives both teams a point at the start of their World Cup campaign. Captain Salima Tete and her teammates will now look to improve their performance and secure stronger results in their remaining pool matches. (PC: X)
