India vs New Zealand Hockey: India will now play New Zealand in a crossover match to maintain their prospects of making it out of the group stage. India needed to defeat Wales by an 8-goal margin to earn automatic qualification and top the group. India finished second in Group D with 7 points, trailing only England on goal differential, and will now face New Zealand in the knockout round on Sunday.

Qualification Scenario

There are four groups of 16 teams, A, B, C, and D. Each team was to play the other teams in its pool three times. The top team will automatically proceed to the quarterfinals, under the rules. Conversely, the teams in second and third place will begin playing crossover matches on January 22.

England, who leads the standings with a goal differential of nine, defeated Spain earlier in the match 4-0. Team India had to defeat Wales so that they had a game-high goal differential of eight in order to advance directly to the quarterfinals. Six of the goals should have been field goals, even if they had won with a goal differential of seven.
