India need to pull up  their socks as they face Ireland in their next match on Tuesday. The Indians were let in by a below-par performance from the midfield as the likes of vice-captain Hardik Singh and Manpreet Singh were nowhere to be seen.

India were also let down by poor penalty corner conversion rate as they made use of just one out of the 10 set pieces earned in the entire match.

After trailing till the 58th minute, India held their nerves till the last as India captain Harmanpreet Singh finally scored from a penalty corner. It was very important for India to not lose points from this match as they will face stronger Australia and Belgium sides.
