The Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium hosted its first international match when England took on Wales earlier on Friday, which was followed by hosts India taking on Spain, and it did not disappoint.

Hockey World Cup 2023: All-out attacking hockey at the start and some impressive defending helped India make a winning start.

A massive positive for India was that they won the game despite goals not coming from their main source Harmanpreet, who was the top goal-scorer of the 2021-22 Pro League. We were first with the ball and that makes a lot of difference in these sort of games,” coach Reid said after the match. We need to continue it in the next game.” The biggest defensive test came for India in the last quarter when Abhishek was given a yellow card for a tackle that looked clean. India were down to 10 men and had to defend like that for 10 minutes in the final quarter. Among the top teams in FIH Pro League in the last two seasons, India have conceded the most goals. It was this fiery start that helped India make a winning start to the campaign. From the outset, it was known that India would be up against a tricky opponent in the opener as the Harmanpreet Singh-led side looks to break the 48-year jinx of not reaching the semi-finals of a World Cup. Harmanpreet failed to convert a penalty stroke and also forced two PCs wide in the third quarter. “Sure, I couldn’t convert the PCs and in addition missed a penalty stroke. In the end, it was another inspiring move from Hardik that helped India score. The fact that it was being played in a jam-packed Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela where over 20,000 people had poured in to cheer the hosts, only made the task a bit more daunting.

England are one rung above India at fifth in world rankings and there is not much to differentiate between the two sides in the past year and historically also. "The boys were able to take the ball out of the goal. Harmanpreet, the best player and top scorer of the team in almost every tournament in recent years, had an off day by his high standards, as he missed a penalty stroke besides failing to find the target from penalty corners. We need to continue it in the next game," Reid said. "It is good to get the first game.
