India were quite wasteful in the India vs England game. At the dying stages of the game too, Sharmila Devi missed a golden opportunity to score the winning goal from close range. She missed it completely. They cannot afford to miss such glorious chances against China.
“I am confident that we are going to win against China. Our team is very good. But, we need to make good use of the chance we get to score against China. We missed some good chances to score against England, and that is something we cannot afford in the next game. We have to convert the penalty corners,” Lakra told InsideSport.

“Penalty corner is a good chance to score a goal. That is one situation, where India need to improve upon. What also happens is that teams study the moves before the matches. We could see that in the England game.”
China opened their World Cup campaign against New Zealand with a draw. That has put all the teams on same points in the competitive Group B. A win for India will help them better their position at the points table.
