· Sports · India Today, Indian Express, Sportstar
India must win against the Netherlands in the men's hockey World Cup on Saturday, August 22, to keep their semi-final hopes alive. The Dutch are the reigning Olympic champions and pose a significant challenge. India's defence has been a concern, having conceded goals in all three previous matches. While Harmanpreet Singh has scored five goals, the team's overall performance needs improvement. Their last win against the Netherlands earlier this year gives them hope, but a loss on Saturday will end their campaign.
Why it matters
The outcome of this match determines whether India advances to the World Cup semi-finals, breaking a 50-year drought.
