"It was a difficult day today. We didn't want to end like that. We started poorly, but the second quarter was much better. The third quarter wasn't good, but then we scored three goals in the last quarter and could have scored the fourth one too from a corner," Fulton told PTI after the 3-5 loss to Argentina. "Overall, it was a really strange game. We played at a high level in tournament, but in the big games we have to do better," he added. He also said the permutations surrounding India's qualification for the semifinals had affected the team's performance.

Inspired by Harmanpreet Kaur and her women's cricket team, who created history by winning the ODI World Cup last year, veteran striker Navneet Kaur wants the Indian hockey team to script a similar title-winning story at the FIH Women's World Cup. India, ranked ninth in the world, began its campaign with a fighting 2-2 draw against Paris Olympic silver medallist and world No. 4 China. They next face 18th-ranked South Africa on Tuesday.
