Last
medal
India’s
last
medal
—
a
silver
—
in
CWG
came
in
2006
Melbourne.
The
only
other
medal
that
Indian
women
bagged
in
the
Games
since
hockey
introduction
in
1998
was
a
gold
in
the
2002
edition
in
Manchester.
Besides
the
brilliant
Olympic
campaign,
the
Indians
would
also
be
boosted
by
their
creditable
third
place
finish
in
their
maiden
Pro
League
outing
this
season.
But
to
finish
on
the
podium,
the
ninth
ranked
Indians
will
have
to
get
the
better
of
world
No.3
Australia,
fifth
ranked
England
and
world
No.
8
New
Zealand,
who
are
also
strong
medal
contenders.
Tough
outings
In
the
last
edition
of
the
Games,
New
Zealand
won
the
gold
ahead
of
Australia
and
the
Trans-Tasman
rivals
would
fancy
their
chances
in
this
Games
too.
Australia
have
dominated
women’s
hockey
in
CWG,
bagging
as
many
as
four
gold
medals,
one
silver
and
a
bronze.
While
it
is
expected
to
be
a
cakewalk
for
India
in
their
opening
two
pool
games
against
world
No.
30
Ghana,
and
world
No.
24
Wales,
Savita’s
side
will
face
its
first
real
challenge
against
England
on
August
2
before
finishing
their
pool
campaign
against
No.15
Canada.
Schopman’s
task
With
the
top
two
teams
from
each
pool
progressing
into
the
semifinals,
India
and
England
are
clear
favourites
from
Pool
A
unless
something
drastic
happens.
For
Indian
women,
while
penalty
corner
conversions
remain
a
major
concern,
the
forward
line
too
needs
to
pull
up
its
socks.
In
the
recent
World
Cup,
the
Indians
created
plenty
of
scoring
chances
from
open
play
as
well
as
penalty
corners
but
squandered
most
of
the
opportunities.
Coach
Schopman
would
be
expecting
a
much-improved
show
from
her
forwards
and
drag-flicker
Gurjit
Kaur.
In
the
other
Pool
A
match
of
the
day,
Canada
will
take
on
Wales.
