Bhubaneswar: India will look for a win against Wales on Thursday to seal a direct quarterfinal berth at the FIH Hockey World Cup.
The hosts have played two matches so far – one against Spain, which they won, and the second against England on Sunday night.
Matches are being held at Bhubaneswar and Rourkela cities in the eastern state of Odisha (formerly Orissa).
If India fail to win, they need to play a further match.
After two games, India and England are on four points each, with England leading the pool on goal difference.
