India face China test in women's hockey World Cup opener

The Indian women's hockey team is getting ready to play in a very big tournament called the World Cup.

In their first game, they will play against China, one of the best hockey teams in the world.

China won a silver medal at the last Olympic Games in Paris.

The game will be played in the Netherlands, in a town called Amstelveen.

India's coach is from the Netherlands, and he says his team is full of confidence.

Many of India's players are new — eleven of them have never played in a World Cup before.

Their goalkeeper, Savita, is very experienced and has played in more than 300 international games.

India finished fourth at the Tokyo Olympics, and the players really want to win a medal this time.

China has beaten India recently, so the Indian team knows this will be a tough challenge.

A win would give India confidence for the rest of the tournament.
