IND vs BEL, Hockey Match Preview: Will India Be Able To Beat World No. 2 Belgium? All You Need To Know

Currently, Belgium is at number two in the international hockey rankings. Here's how India's record has been against the team.

Tokyo: The Belgian team is now the frontrunner in the race to make it to the finals. India has the possibility of winning a medal again in hockey after 41 long years.

Despite a 7-1 goal loss against Australia in the group league match, the Indian team is now just one step away from creating history and this happened because the Indian team, winning consecutively in the middle four matches, has proved that this team is different from the Indian teams of the last three decades.
