Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: With two wins from two matches under their belt, Soorma Hockey Club will take on Delhi SG Pipers on Friday in a much-anticipated clash in the Women's Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25, hoping to maintain the momentum when they play at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium here. So far, JSW Soorma Hockey Club have won both their matches in the league -- a 4-1 win against Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers and a 2-1 victory against Odisha Warriors. Delhi SG Pipers, on the other hand, have lost both their encounters so far.

Speaking ahead of the game, Soorma Hockey Club women’s head coach Jude Menezes expressed confidence saying, “Our team has shown great character in the last two matches, and this one will be no different. Savita and our defensive unit have been expectational in both the matches while the midfielders and forwards have gelled well and have showcased the goalscoring potential in the team."

Soorma Hockey Club sit on top of the table having secured six points from two matches and scoring six goals while conceding only two goals. On the other hand, Delhi SG Pipers are yet to find the back of the net in the League. However, with young Indian forwards like Deepika and Sunelita Toppo in the squad, the Pipers’ dry run is not expected to last longer.
