7:20 PM The Indian hockey team is up against European powerhouse Belgium in the quarter-final stage. Tonight's winner will either face Germany in the semi-final of the FIH Men's Junior Hockey World Cup.
It will be a tough encounter against the European giants with some causes for concern for Graham Reid. The biggest concern will be the lack of discipline with India having picked up five cards in the last match, three of them being yellow cards. A much better showing will be needed when they take to the pitch against Belgium and should rely on their attacking prowess to secure a berth in the semi-final.
