BHUBANESWAR: The four top-ranked sides expectedly made it to the semifinals of the FIH Men's World Cup but with little separating Australia, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium it is difficult to predict which two's quest for the title will continue after the last four stage matches here on Friday.
World number one Australia face Germany, ranked fourth in the FIH chart, in the first semifinal while defending champions Belgium take on last two edition's runner-up Netherlands in the second last four match in the Battle of Lowlands at the Kalinga Stadium on Friday.
