India vs England Hockey World Cup Highlights
Oliver Payne of England was rightly adjudged Player of the Match as he was the wall that stood between India and a goal. The match ended in a goalless draw and courtesy of that, both India and England ended up having a point each.
As for stats, India had 31 circle penetrations compared to England’s 27. In terms of possession, both the teams were almost neck and neck with India dominating the possession in the last quarter. India were shown two cards while England got one. But when it came to the penalty corners, India earned only four while the English got, although none of the teams converted any.
In the next game, India will play Wales while England will face Spain.
