Overview
The number two side in the world, Netherlands, come into this clash after two impressive back-to-back wins thrashing Ireland 5-0 and Canada 7-0. One of the two remaining unbeaten teams in the tournament, the Dutch led by 2015 world player of the year, Robert van der Horst, have put on a technical display vastly superior to their opponents.
Drag-flicker Mink van der Weerden has been the star for Netherlands so far, scoring six goals in their last three games while in Van der Horst and Roger Hofman, they have players who have amassed more than 200 games for their country.
The Dutch are currently in second place with seven points in the league table and are certain to qualify for the knock-out stages of the tournament.
India come into this clash in a confident mood after beating Argentina 2-1 in their last encounter on 9 August and having virtually sealed a place in the knock-out stage. The win against Argentina was also important because it was The Men In Blue's first triumph in six attempts against the South American side.
The concern for Roelant Oltmans's men will be that the majority of their goals have come via penalty corners, where Rupinder Pal Singh has been excellent. However, the lack of goals scored from open play has been a worry for a side that tend to get overrun when things are not going right for them.
India, who are currently placed third in the points table with six points from three games, will want to ideally win both their games, which will ensure that they do not clash with the winners from Group A in the quarter-final.
