India men’s hockey team will be in action for the final time at the FIH World Cup on Friday when it takes on Belgium in the seventh-eighth place classification match in Wavre.
Craig Fulton’s side will improve on its previous World Cup finish, where it ended ninth, but its showing at the World Cup so far has been listless as it failed to beat any of the higher-ranked teams it faced.
The challenge against the home side won’t be any easier on Friday. India has beaten Belgium only twice in the last 10 meetings between these teams.
Here’s all you need to know about the live streaming and telecast details for today’s match.
