India made a good return after their disappointing outing in the Hockey World Cup with a victory against the World Champions Germany in the second leg of the Pro League. Strikers Sukhjeet Singh, Abhishek, Gurjant Singh and Dilpreet Singh all showcased top form in the first game by making repeated penetrations on their opposition in their first game. They will look to continue their form against the Kookaburras.
Skipper Harmanpreet Singh also got back to business by converting a PC. He is currently the highest goal-scorer in the league and will aim to continue his scoring spree.
Australia meanwhile named a relatively inexperienced squad for the tournament. The young team struggled against Germany in their previous game. The young team will have to step up their performance against India.
Australia enjoyed recent success against the Men in Blue. Both the teams met in a five-match Test series just ahead of the World Cip 2023. In five matches, the Kookaburras won four. Australia will hope to give a tough fight yet again against the home team.
