We have been consistently performing well in recent months, and we are confident that we have what it takes to win big games away from home," Savita said in a statement."We have worked on the mistakes we made against the Netherlands in our previous two games and are confident that we will not repeat the same mistakes in the upcoming games. We have talked about the areas where we need to improve and worked hard in those areas and are confident that we'll succeed here," Savita added.The Indian women's team will enter into the contest after a win and loss against the Netherlands in their previous FIH Women's Hockey Pro League 2021/22 encounters in April.

We are aware that we must maintain our performance as we prepare for the FIH Hockey Women's World Cup, which will take place in July of this year," Ekka said."We must maintain possession of the ball against Belgium, and we must be active and apply pressure to gain possession of the ball when we do not have it.
