Junior Men`s Hockey World Cup: India to take on Korea in must win match

Hosts India have no other option but to win in a tricky encounter against Korea, tomorrow in their do-or-die final Pool C match to progress to the quarterfinals of the Junior Men`s Hockey World Cup at New Delhi. After a 2-3 defeat against formidable Netherlands in their tournament opener, India kept themselves in the hunt for the knock-outstage by a hard-fought 3-2 win over Canada in their next match at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium. 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.
