And here we go! India gets the ball rolling
A classic rivalry and two fiery junior teams ready to leave it all on the turf. This is more than just a match. It's a battle for pride, passion, and points.
"Round-robin matches tend to get difficult. All matches, all goals are crucial. Players are making mistakes and grabbing it all. Its going to be good match. It will be an emotionally attached game. Everyone is excited to watch it. I would only tell the boys to go and give your 100%. Every win takes you closer to the final. Excitement never allows you to play a good game," Indian coach PR Sreejesh
Pakistan has so far won a match and lost a match.
"We started well but in the next match we didn't play to our strategy. We have a different strategy to play with India. We have to be organised. When we played conventional hockey it was different. Now emotions are natural. But you have to be focused. PC is our strength, but against India we have to create moves. Both teams play with skills," Pakistan Assistant coach said.
