India take on Netherlands in the quarterfinal of the Men's Hockey World Cup 2018 at the Kalinga Stadium, Bhubneshwar, Odisha, on Thursday.
Head to head, India and Netherlands are on a tie of 4-4, while one match ended in a draw.
The match will be a clash between World No. 5 (India) and No. 4 (Netherlands) sides. While India made it to the quarterfinals by virtue of topping their group, the Dutch defeated a hapless Canada 5-0 in the cross-over on Tuesday to set up the mouth-watering clash with the hosts on Thursday.

FULL-TIME:
It's done and dusted at the Kalinga Stadium and India fails to find an equaliser here. The Dutch are off to their 10th World Cup semi-final and will face the Aussies, while England will take on Belgium in the second semifinal.
Team India definitely put up a great fight but in the end, they finished on the losing side and their wait for a semifinal will extend further.
India 1 - 2 Netherlands

Oh, dear!
GOAAALLLLL & the Dutch go 2-1 up!
A foul from India's Varun Kumar and that gifts Netherlands their fourth penalty corner of the game. Amit Rohidas leaves the line early, is asked to go out of the goal. Meanwhile, Mink van der Weerden scores with a straight drag flick down the middle. After failing to convert their previous three penalty strokes, the Dutch make no mistake this time.

The third quarter is halfway in and things have begun to heat up here. Yet another close chance for the hosts but Akashdeep's reverse hit goes over the cross bar.

Just before the end of Quarter 1, the Dutch socre! Netherlands’ attacker Thierry Brinkman shoots inside the post, Sreejesh's stick just gets the touch on the ball but cannot stop it from hitting the nets.

The hosts so far have lost the ball so many times in the mid-field. They just should be happy that the Dutch have not been able to take advantage of the same.
