 "India vs Wales Hockey World Cup 2023: Advantage India for a last 8 berth")
The Indian hockey team would be looking to get straight to the quarterfinal after beating Wales by a massive margin of goals in their last group-stage game which will take place in Bhubaneshwar from 07:00 pm IST onward.
The Indian side would have the advantage of seeing England and Spain play first. Once the result of that game comes out, the hosts will be in a better position to try and calculate how many goals they need to score to top the group and move to the quarterfinal.
What’s the situation as of now?
Considering that England win by a margin of just one goal against Spain, India would have to score more than four goals against Wales and then not allow any goal past them to top the group. England have a three-goal advantage over India as of now.
If England and Spain play out a draw, India just need to win and get past England in the points table.
If by chance, Spain beat England, India need to just draw against Wales to top the group.
Given Spain’s competence, it is very hard to imagine that they will get hammered by a goal difference of more than three goals. In that case, India need to get past the Welsh unit by more than six goals.
