India vs Wales Hockey World Cup 2023 highlights: Catch the highlights from India vs Wales Pool D match of the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 match.

Akashdeep Singh grabbed a brace as India finished second in Pool D, thus setting up a crossover match-up against New Zealand on the 22nd of January.

Harmanpreet's drag-flick was blocked, but the ball deflected to Shamsher Singh on the edge of the circle, who took a couple of steps forward and rifled a shot, low into the goal with the Welsh goalkeeper leaving his near post free. As the first quarter progressed, India got closer to making a breakthrough, with Mandeep Singh and Akashdeep Singh forcing Toby Reynolds-Cotterill into a couple of saves. Consequently, India began the game in an attacking manner, with Akashdeep Singh forcing a save in the first minute.

Similarly, if India wins 10-3, it will advance. For example, if India wins 9-2 against Wales, it will go through. Then India and England face each other in a penalty shootout.

India were able to defeat Wales 4-2 in their final Pool D encounter but will now enter the crossover stage to know about their quarterfinal fate.

Wales had gone down to 10 men and had taken off their goalkeeper as India got a PC. The hosts started the game on the up and Mandeep got a shot away in the first minute after a quick start, but the Wales goalkeeper was up to the task. Shamsher and Harmanpreet Singh were also on the scoresheet for India as they withstood an onslaught from the Welsh side in the third quarter.

Kiwis displayed some intent during the last part of the game but it was too late to have any impact in the match.

Malaysia came back strongly with Saari Faizal scoring a tricky goal in the 56th minute to make the scoreline 3-2 in their favour. They stamped their authority to gain their fifth and sixth penalty corners on the trot in the 42nd minute. In the process, New Zealand and Malaysia earned two penalty corners in the second and the seventh minutes respectively.

Needing an eight-goal win for direct quarterfinal entry, a hyper-aggressive, over-enthusiastic India lose the plot and settle for a 4-2 win against Wales.

With the team unable to make anything out of the PCs they smartly earned, the forwards pressed ahead and raided the Welsh ‘D’. Mandeep and Akashdeep were responsible for a beautiful goal by opening up the defence with brilliant give-and-go passing, with the latter finishing off the move. A lot of it came from Akashdeep Singh, who not just scored a couple of fabulous goal but also was present everywhere on the field, trying to force things. And before England set India that lofty target, the crowd’s expectations of a goal-fest had increased after watching the Netherlands put 14 past a hapless Chile, setting a World Cup record in the process. England’s 4-0 hammering of Spain just before India’s match meant the hosts had to not just beat Wales but also do it handsomely – by at least a margin of eight goals to surpass England’s superior goal difference. And they were running faster than they were thinking.

Shamsher Singh and Akashdeep Singh scored either side of half-time to give them a two-goal lead, but two penalty corners were scored right before the end of the third period. A barren third period was followed by two goals in two minutes from Nick Bandurak and Liam Ansell to give England a comfortable goal difference over India, who needed to win by at least seven against Wales in the late match. In the earlier of the two matches, England were in control against Spain as they kept their third clean sheet in a row at the World Cup.

Pass from Shamsher from the right flank to Akashdeep on the edge of the D. England wins 4-0 which means - India needs to beat Wales by a margin of eight goals to top the group and qualify directly for the quarterfinals. The 15,000-capacity Kalinga Stadium is expected to be packed and while Wales did face the crowd in Rourkela, this would be the first time the Welsh would feel the full force of it, playing against the host. Pass from Amit Rohidas to Mandeep inside the striking circle but Mandeep is fouled from behind. Wales with the ball inside the striking circle but fails to make use of it. Mandeep receives the ball just outside the D and looks to put Sukhjeet through but the ball goes out of play. Mandeep passes it to a diving Varun Kumar at the near post but excellent defending from Wales to avoid any damage. India will need a miracle in the second half to go past England on goal difference and top the group. Mandeep received the ball on the edge of the D, provided the return pass to Akashdeep who went for the kill. Welsh defense tried to clear the ball near the right post but ended up hitting the ball onto the foot of Francis. The ball hit the right post before going in to find the bottom-left corner. Sreejesh keeps the initial drag-flick out from Furlong but ball finds its way back to injecter Jacob Draper who scoops it over Sreejesh to find the back of the net.

Day 6 of FIH Odisha Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 brought the conclusion of the group stage action from Pool C and Pool D.

Akashdeep added a second stunning goal at the start of 4th quarter to give India the lead back and Harmanpreet finally opened his account in the final minute of the game as India won a penalty corner after Wales had taken their keeper off for an outfield player. The second half started with an Indian goal by Akashdeep early in the 3rd quarter, but as India searched for more goals, Wales got a chance to launch counters of their own and as the 3rd quarter came to a close, Wales scored twice to stun the crowd and go into the final 15 minutes on level terms. That would be the only goal India would score in the first half as hopes of topping the group faded for the hosts. The second half saw Netherlands turn up the pressure to 100 as they scored 6 goals in the 3rd quarter and 3 more in the final quarter. Spanish players’ shoulders started to drop in the second half as they kept missing from great scoring opportunities and when they got shots on target, English keeper Oliver Payne showed why he is one of the best in the business pulling off a string of impressive saves to maintain England’s run of clean sheets at the World Cup. The final quarter provided pulsating hockey as New Zealand scored twice early in the quarter through Phillips and Lane to temporarily move into the 2nd place on the Pool table, but Malaysia grabbed the lead back with less than 3 minutes left, as Faizal Saari scored his second of the game to get Malaysia the 3 points and 2nd place in Pool C. Netherlands came into the final pool game with 2 near perfect wins, while Chile came in with 2 closely fought contests where they ended up on the losing side. Malaysia and New Zealand played the first game with Malaysia needing a win to overtake New Zealand for the second spot in the group, while New Zealand just needed a draw to stay ahead of Malaysia on goal difference. They added the second goal from their 6th penalty corner as Razie Rahim buried a low drag flick into the bottom left corner of the goal. Malaysia had the last laugh however, scoring with 2 minutes left on the clock to seal the win and grab the second spot in Pool C, with New Zealand finishing 3rd. Malaysia were the first to score as Faizal Saari got a slight touch on a ball into the circle that took it past an onrushing Dixon giving Malaysia a crucial lead. The final match of the day was between hosts India, playing their first match in Bhubaneswar against the plucky Welsh team that had nothing to lose.
