This will be their last game before they make their way to the 100th Anniversary Spanish Hockey Federation International tournament that is set to get underway on 25th July.
Germany completely dominated the proceedings in the last game as they took a 2-0 lead within the first quarter. Indian defence will need to put in the hard yards against the German attack.
Vaishnavi Vittal Phalke was the lone scorer in the previous game and the other attackers also have to step up and ensure they put enough presseure on the German defence.
For Germany meanwhile Nike Lorenz and Jette Fleschutz were the goal-scorers in the previous game. Both the players scored brace and they will look to continue the good form .
