Our boys completed two matches but still they r struggling with their game plan ... In the first match Dutch boys played solid game and didn't gave much chance to our boys ... Still our boys managed to put pressure but Dutch kept their advantage for a win.

In their second match Canadian boys surprised Indians with their open play ... Indians never settled in the match as Canadians take early lead and after that Indians were doing catching game ... Indians had more than 80% possession in the first half and had numerous penetrations in the circle but failed to score ... In the end Indians were lucky as Gurjinder Singh converted penalty corner for a win.

Now for qualifying for the quarter final Indian boys need to win their final pool match against Korea ... But for that Indians need to raise their game few notches./span>
