Things are going to be interesting, as there are currently two possible contenders for the quarterfinal match against India, Germany and Great Britain. The scenario indicates that if the match ends in a draw, India will face Great Britain. But there’s also a twist, if Argentina, who played a 1-1 tie against India, manages to beat Belgium by two goals, they will secure the second spot, causing India to slip to third place and play against the second-placed team from Pool A. India is currently placed in Pool B, along with Belgium, Australia, Argentina, Ireland, and New Zealand.
