IND vs NZ Hockey Match: India men's hockey team is all set to go up against New Zealand in a must-win match at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, Sunday, with a place in the Hockey World Cup 2023 quarterfinals on the line. India failed to secure a direct quarterfinal berth following a below-par show against Wales. A win over a plucky New Zealand in the crossover stage match will help Hockey WC 2023 hosts India seal a spot in the last-eight stage of the mega tournament.

India were supposed to beat Wales with an eight-goal difference in their last Pool D match to qualify quarter-finals directly but a below-par show from the hosts ensured that they finished the match 4-2. The Men in Blue will now have to beat New Zealand, which finished third in Pool C, to enter the Hockey World Cup 2023 quarter-finals.
India will clash against defending champions Belgium in the quarter-finals, only if they beat New Zealand on Sunday. Notably, India had defeated New Zealand 4-3 and 7-4 in two FIH Pro League matches in October-November, last year.
