August 23, 2026 21:30
What does India need to qualify for the semifinals?
The equation is quite simple: Win and go through. Three points will take India’s tally to four, which help it overtake China and Australia.
A draw would mean that Australia go through despite having the same goal difference as India.
Why?
Because Australia has scored more goals than India. The Aussies have scored three goals in their two games against China and Netherlands, while India has scored just two.

It's do-or-die for India and Australia
Both teams needed a bit of a favour from the Netherlands and the nine-time World champion delivered a thumping 4-1 win over China. The Paris Olympics silver medallist is now out of the race of the semifinals, thus leaving the path for one of India or Australia to qualify.
Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, we are in for some rollicking hockey at the Wagener Hockey Stadium.
