India Exits Hockey World Cup After Draw with Australia

India's women's hockey team was eliminated from the World Cup after a goalless draw against Australia at the Wagener Stadion, marking the end of their semifinal hopes.

The match was crucial for India, but despite their efforts, they finished third in Group E, with Australia advancing based on a superior goal tally. India's performance was hindered by a lack of scoring opportunities, extending their goalless streak to three matches.

Throughout the game, India struggled against Australia's tight marking, leading to turnovers in critical areas. Australia had two goals disallowed for dangerous play, while India managed to defend multiple penalty corners in the closing minutes but could not convert any chances into goals. As a result, India will now compete in the fifth-sixth classification match.
