India gave Italy an absolute thrashing in the Pool B encounter in the ongoing FIH Women’s Hockey Olympics Qualifiers winning the game by 5-1 at Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astroturf Hockey Stadium in Ranchi, Jharkhand on Tuesday, January 16. The win took India to the second spot in Pool B, just behind the USA and a step closer to a spot in Paris Olympics 2024. India’s campaign got off to a poor start with the loss against the USA but recovered well to beat New Zealand and now Italy to qualify for the semi-finals.
