Overview
India, who are the dark horses, started their Champions Trophy 2016 campaign with an exciting 3-3 draw against defending champions Germany on 10 June (Friday). The Men in Blue at one point were leading 3-1 only for their defence to fail them yet again, letting the Germans hit back to draw the game.
There were some positives for the Roelant Oltmans-coached side with their offensive players looking dangerous on the ball, particularly Mandeep Singh, who scored a brilliant goal in what was his 150<sup>th international game. India will, however, need to sort out their defensive issues if they are to mount a challenge for the title.
Their opponents Great Britain come into this clash after putting up a commanding defensive display against Australia in their opening game on 10 June (Friday). The Kookaburras had the lion share of possession, including 11 penalty corners but goalkeeper George Pinner looked unbeatable in goal to help his side gain a point.
The Indian side will provide a different test with their trickery on the ball. Despite their defence doing well, Britain will hope that their attackers come to the fore as a win here will help them in their aim for a top two finish.
