India's rampaging form would be put through a tough test when they take on world No 4 the Netherlands in their final Pool B match of the Hockey World league Semi-Final, here on Tuesday.
India, ranked sixth in the world, are presently atop in Pool B with three wins from as many games, while Netherlands are placed second with two wins from two games.
But going by performance so far in the tournament, India hold an edge over Netherlands as they have so far recorded convincing wins in the tournament.
India defeated Scotland 4-1, Canada 3-0 before demolishing arch-rivals Pakistan 7-1 in their first three games.
Netherlands, on the other hand, beat Pakistan 4-0 before getting the better of Scotland 3-0 in their first two games.
On form, India are expected to give Netherlands a run for their money, provided they can keep their composure on the turf.
With their place already secured in the quarterfinals, India would be hoping to keep up the good work and keep a clean slate going into the business end of the tournament.
Sardar questioned by police
Star India hockey player Sardar Singh was on Monday called for questioning by the police reportedly in connection with a year-old sexual assault case, barely hours after his side’s match against Pakistan.
Former Hockey India chief and current International Hockey Federation president Narinder Batra slammed the move by the UK authorities.
"As an FIH chief I have no comments. But as an Indian and former Hockey India president, I am saying this in my personal capacity that I condemn the move. How can you call an international athlete in the middle of a tournament without any prior information," Batra said.
