India Misses Women's Hockey World Cup Semifinals After Goalless Draw With Australia
India's women's hockey team was eliminated from the FIH Women's Hockey World Cup 2026 after a 0-0 draw against Australia in Amstelveen. Both teams finished level on points and goal difference, but Australia advanced to the semifinals due to having scored more goals in the tournament. India created several scoring opportunities but failed to convert, with key moments overturned by video referrals. Despite the disappointment, India will compete in classification matches aiming for a top-five finish, marking one of their best World Cup performances.
