India aim to continue winning run in HWL semis

London, June 16: Their campaign off to a positive start, an ever-improving India would look to continue their winning momentum when they take on another easy opponent in Canada in their second Pool B match of the Hockey World League Semi-Final here tomorrow.

For the sixth-ranked India, tomorrow’s match would provide them another golden opportunity to enhance their position in Pool B with their second consecutive win ahead of tough games against arch-rivals Pakistan and fourth-ranked Netherlands.

Just like their opening counter, the Indians are considered as hands down favourites against 11th-ranked Canada, who have some Indian origin players in the squad.

But Roelant Oltmans’ men will have to guard against complacency as a lowly Scotland gave India a run for their money at least in the opening two quarters.

A win tomorrow will more or less assure India’s place in the quarterfinals. (PTI)
