India's path to the Hockey World Cup second round: What they need against Pakistan
Following a 2-4 loss to England, India is required to defeat Pakistan this Wednesday to secure their spot in the next stage of the Men's Hockey World Cup. A draw against Pakistan will suffice if England manages to beat or tie with Wales, though a victory for Wales could make goal difference the deciding factor. If India loses to Pakistan in Amstelveen, they will be knocked out of the tournament.
