Thank you for joining in!

That's all we have from the 2024-25 FIH Women's Pro League clash between India and China. Salima Tete and co were in a must win situation to drag themselves out of the relegation battle but instead they have dug their own grave.

Though there still exists a mathematical possibility of pulling themselves out with a win in the reverse fixture on Sunday, today's display doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

India started off well and put up a brave fight in the third and fourth quarters but the lack of potency in the striking circle was once again their undoing. 

Thank you for joining in to our coverage. See you tomorrow with the India's last and final match of the 2024-25 FIH Women's Pro League!
