India, who started their Hockey World Cup 2018 campaign on a bright note with a 5-0 thrashing of South Africa on Wednesday, will be hoping of clearing a stern test awaiting them Sunday in the form of world number three Belgium. Seeking to rewrite history after 43 years, the Indian men’s hockey team made a strong start in the elite 16-nation tournament. The win on Sunday will guarantee India’s direct entry into the quarterfinals. Rio Olympic silver medallist Belgium were far from impressive in their fighting 2-1 win over lowly Canada. Eight-time Olympic champions India’s only World Cup crown came way back in 1975. The hosts produced a fine display of attacking hockey to outclass South Africa and would look to continue in the same vein, although consistency is something India has always lacked. Come Sunday, the Indians will have to be at their best in all departments to get the better of the ever-improving Red Lions, who will be out to prove a point after a not-so-impressive opener. The Indian forward line comprising Mandeep Singh, Simranjeet Singh, Akashdeep Singh and Lalit Upadhyay impressed against South Africa.
