With the quarter-final spot at stake, India will take on New Zealand in a cross over match at the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 on Sunday. Earlier, Harmanpreet Singh-led India finished second on the points table in Pool D, behind table toppers England who sealed the quarter-final berth on the back of a better goal difference.
As it's a do-or-die match, Team India will have to be on their toes and bring out their A-game to surpass the Kiwis. Injury to mid-fielder Hardik Singh has been a big blow to the team but the Men in Blue don't have the time to look back and regret. Mid-fielders Shamsher Singh and Akashdeep Singh were goal-scorers in the previous match and all eyes will be on them once again. Graham Reid-coached India will need to up their game when it comes to converting penalty corners where they lack in previous match.
Meanwhile, New Zealand had finished third in Pool C and are much lower than India in the world rankings. At No.6, India sits well ahead of No.12 New Zealand. On paper, it might look like an easy challenge but India won't want to take anything for granted in a tournament as big as the World Cup.
