Tough challenge await India in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup final today
Despite posting the tournament’s biggest victory of the ongoing Sultan Azlan Shah Cup — 14-3 against Canada in the last pool match — India faces tough challenge in the final against Belgium today. Their rival in the final is easily the best team so far, having won four matches and drawing one including a gritty one-goal margin over India. With tight defence and amazing forwardline the only European team in the six-nation competition, Belgium enters the final as favourite for the title. Interestingly, Belgium drew Canada 1-1 in their opening match, but India struck 14 times against Canada the other day.
