After Wales win, India targets another victory over England in Amsterdam

Following a strong 3-1 display against Wales, the Indian men’s hockey team travels to Amsterdam for a crucial Pool D clash with England. The match is a pivotal moment in the early phase of the World Cup, with the winner moving closer to a quarter‑final berth.

Key moments from the Wales encounter included three penalty‑corner goals, two of which were struck by captain Harmanpreet Singh. While India dominated possession, its inability to convert open‑play chances highlighted a finishing issue that the coaching staff hopes to resolve.

England, fresh off a 4-1 win over Pakistan, will bring a well‑rounded lineup that can match India’s intensity. Both teams will need to stay composed in the circle and capitalize on any defensive errors to secure the three points on offer.
