Lausanne, Switzerland: A new test series between the Australian and Indian women’s teams will get underway on Thursday in Adelaide, Australia.
The series will see the current FIH Hockey Pro League leaders Australia, take on the winners of the inaugural FIH Hockey Nations Cup India, in a three-match series.
The two teams have developed a rivalry over the recent years, with their most recent match-up coming in the semi-finals of the Commonwealth Games 2022, which required a shoot-out to separate the two sides.
With both young teams stringing together an impressive run of form over the past year, the series promises to be tightly contested affair, with each side providing a litmus test for the progress made by the other.
