The Indian women&rsquo;s hockey team ended their <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/FIH+World+Cup-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">FIH World Cup</a> campaign with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Japan in their final classification encounter here on Wednesday.
The win ensured the India eves finished in ninth place in the 16-team competition.
Navneet Kaur (30th &amp; 45th minute) scored a brace, while Deep Grace Ekka (20th) added the third goal off a penalty corner as the India women got the better of reigning Asian champions Japan. For Japan, Yu Asai (20th) scored the lone goal.
India had a rather poor World Cup campaign after failing to register a single win in their three group matches in Amstelveen, The Netherlands.&nbsp;
Thereafter, they first beat Canada two days ago via a shootout in the 9th-to-12th place classification match before this victory sealed their ninth spot.&nbsp;
The next competition for this Indian team is the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Commonwealth+Games-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Commonwealth Games</a> which will be held in Birmingham, United Kingdom, from July 28 to August 8.
