ROURKELA: Hosts India will face defending champions Belgium in the quarterfinals of the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup if they beat New Zealand in the crossover match in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.
India had finished second in Pool D behind England on goal difference, forcing the home side to play in the crossovers round. They needed to beat Wales by a margin of eight goals in their final pool match on Thursday to directly qualify for the quarterfinals, but could only notch up a 4-2 win.
