India women are currently placed third in the nine-team FIH Pro League 2021-22 table with 22 points, including awarded wins against England, who cancelled their trip to Bhubaneswar. On the other hand, Belgium have risen to the fifth spot with 16 points from 11 outings after their latest win.
Notably, Argentina were crowned champions of the FIH Women’s Pro League 2021-22 on Saturday. India needed to win all their remaining games to bag the title but their loss to Belgium confirmed that Argentina will finish on top of the table.
