India qualifies for the quarter-final after winning the Pool C ... In their final match, they required a win over Canada and in end, they gave a dominating display for winning comfortably with 5-1 score ... We started well and scored through the penalty corner in the first quarter, but after dominating the second quarter we failed to score due to poor finishing in the circle ... The Canadian took advantage of our poor finishing and equalized in the third quarter ... In the fourth quarter, we came out all guns blazing and gave one of the best attacking performance ... We scored two goals in the first 2 minutes to restore the lead ... Then an excellent execution of the penalty corner drill to increase the lead and won this match comfortably ... We need to wait for knowing our opponent from the cross-over match ... But most probably we will be facing the Netherlands.
