Bhubaneswar, Jan 18 (PTI) An unbeaten India will seek to address their penalty-corner woes to post a big win against bottom-placed debutants Wales in their final pool match and qualify directly for the quarter-finals of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup here on Thursday.
India and England are on four points each after two matches with the latter ahead on goal difference — plus five as against the hosts’ plus three. India, though, will have the advantage of knowing what to do before their match as they play after England’s game against Spain on Thursday.
If England lose or draw against Spain, there will be no headache for India as they just need to beat Wales by any margin to top Pool D — considered the group of death — and qualify directly for the quarter-finals.
