India will clash with Korea in its must-win final Pool-C match of the Men's Junior Hockey World Cup at New Delhi today. The match will be played at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium at 8 in the evening. All India Radio will broadcst the live commentary of the match. The commentary can be heard on FM Rainbow network and Yuvavani stations from 07:55 pm onwards.Hosts India have no other option but to win in a tricky encounter against Korea, in their do-or-die final Pool C match to progress to the quarterfinals. After a 2-3 defeat against formidable Netherlands in their tournament opener, India kept themselves in the hunt for the knock-out stage by a hard-fought 3-2 win over Canada in their next match played on saturday. But India cannot afford either a loss or a draw against Korea in their final pool match to secure their quarterfinal berth. Both India and Korea are on three points each from two outings but Korea have a better goal difference and a draw would be enough for them to pip the home team and go forward. Yesterday, Australia and France from Pool-B, and Malaysia and New Zealand from Pool-D booked the quarterfinal berths.
