It's looking promising: Hockey team beats Australia in Olympics for first time since 1972, ends 2nd in Pool B
PARIS: This was a match to decide where India would finish on the points table in Pool B of the hockey competition - a match against a team India have suffered against over the years. In fact, India had not beaten Australia since the 1972 Munich Games in the Olympics. One would not have blamed the Indian supporters for being a bit apprehensive at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium here on Friday afternoon.
