20: 00 IST: That's that for Team India. Coach Roelant Oltmans would be proud of the way his boys have played in the tournament so far but the Dutch goalkeeper wasn't in mood to allow the opponents even a sniff at victory. Three penalty corners for India, all in vain. Still, well played boys!
19:55 IST: Another penalty corner to Team India and they fail to covert it yet again.
19:51 IST: 5 minutes to go as India still continue to hunt for two elusive goals.
19:44 IST: India get their second penalty corner and Netherlands Croon also gets a yellow card. Can India make this opportunity count? Nope! They couldn't.
19:36 IST: It's almost end of Q3 but no respite for Team India in terms of clear goal-scoring opportunities. End of Quarter 3.
19:30 IST: A good chance went begging but India are looking to create more chances.
19:25 IST: Netherlands continue to enjoy majority of possession as Team India look to hit them on counter and defend deep to absorb pressure.
19:11 IST: Ramandeep fails to convert a brilliant chance, but India are looking to pile pressure more and more. It's half time now!
19:08 IST: GOAL! India get one back, courtesy Akashdeep Singh's brilliant finish.
19:04 IST: India way behind Netherlands with just one shot thus far as compared to 10 from the latter, who now have a 3-goal lead.
18:55 IST: Start of Quarter 2.
18:53 IST: Another save from the Indian goalie to deny the opposition from taking 3-0 lead. The Dutch, however, continue to create chance and earn themselves a penalty corner on stroke of the end of Q1, but fail to convert.
18:49 IST: Penalty corner for India, courtesy a brilliant video referral by SV Sunil, but India fail to take the chance and reduce the deficit.
18:46 IST: GOAL! India are two-goal down in the first quarter itself. Sander Baart is the scorer.
18:43 IST: Another attack on India's goal. But Akash efficiently thwart the danger away. Indi being constantly put under pressure by the Dutch.
18:40 IST: No realy dangerous attack from India in the interval as players spend majority of the time in the middle of the turf.
18:35 IST: Two minutes in and Netherlands have the first goal. Brinkman the scorer.
2' Goal by Thierry Brinkman puts @oranjehockey into the lead.
