The Indian women's hockey team on Saturday lost 0-3 against China to slump to its seventh consecutive defeat in the European leg of the FIH Pro League here, and is staring at a possible relegation from the tournament.

After the defeat, India occupy the bottom place in the nine team standings with 10 points from 15 games.

If England beat Germany later on Saturday, India will be relegated from the FIH Pro League to FIH Nations Cup.

If Germany win, India will have to beat China on Sunday to have a chance of survival.
