The two giants of the sport almost always offer goalfests to their fans.

India vs Australia in Hockey is always a game for the fans to remember. In search of redemption, the Indian hockey team is set to take on one of the most dominating squads in the world of hockey, Australia. In the first game of the FIH Pro Hockey League March leg, India started their campaign with a bang against Germany. Sukhjeet’s two goals and Harmanpreet’s one helped India beat the current World Champions by 3-2. The young Indian squad put the Germans on the back foot from the first half.

After a great comeback from World Cup disappointment, India will take on Australia in their second game on Sunday. Before taking on India, Australia will face Germany on Saturday in Rourkela. India will be watching Saturday’s encounter closely as well.

Before taking on Australia a much-needed and unprecedented win against World Champions Germany will definitely be a morale booster for this young Indian Hockey team. Indian defence showed some resilience against Germany, and David John will be hoping they deliver once again against Australia to secure much-needed points in the league.

Australia has superb statistical numbers against India, they are almost close to 100 wins against the Indian Hockey team. Just before the World Cup, India went Down Under to play a 5 test series against Australia. India. They had a forgettable tour in December 2022. Australia dominated India in most of the matches and won the 5-match series by 4-1, scoring 25 goals.

In 4 out of 5 games, Australia scored more than 5 goals against India. Australia has proved their dominance against India on a number of occasions. India will be cautious against the Australian attacking line. Australia has proved to be a goal-scoring unit on many occasions.

Players like Blake Govers, and Jeremy Heywards have been scoring for the team when needed. India will be a challenge for Australia too, performance against Germany will definitely give them confidence.

These five games, as aforementioned, were played Down Under. They were played in a bid to prepare the two teams for the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup 2023. It would be safe to say that none of the two teams actually benefited from the mini five-match test series as both underperformed in the quadrennial mega event.
