Pro league: India eye revenge against Australia

Rourkela, February 23

The Indian men’s hockey team would look to leave behind last match’s disappointment and lift its game to the next level to stop the mighty Australians’ unbeaten run in a FIH Pro League match here tomorrow.

The Indians played some exciting hockey against world No. 1 Netherlands in their last match but lost 2-4 in shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate.

India are currently placed fourth in the standings with 11 points from six matches, while Australia are unbeaten so far, registering six outright wins from as many games.

Revenge will be on India’s mind as they squandered a two-goal lead to lose 4-6 to the Kookaburras in Bhubaneswar.
