The team fought hard for victory and finally managed to defeat Canada 2-1. India however, does not have a good head-to-head record with Belgium. The two teams have faced each other 19 times and India has won only on five occasions. One match ended with a draw. The Indians will have to be really good in all departments of the game against the Red Lions. Indian forwards Mandeep Singh, Simranjeet Singh, Akashdeep Singh and Lalit Upadhyay who were at their best during the game with South Africa would surely look forward to continuing their good performances.
