New Zealand will now face Pool B table-toppers, Belgium, in the quarter-finals on January 24. Here's more.

    How did the match pan out?

    Lalit Upadhyay put the hosts 1-0 up in the second quarter. India soon had a goal disallowed, but Sukhjeet Singh doubled the lead off a rebound. NZ, however, cut down the deficit near half-time. Varun Kumar added India's third, but NZ sneaked in a second through a penalty. Sean Findlay helped NZ draw parity before full-time.

    Harmanpreet Singh scored India's opener, while Nic Woods scored for NZ. Rajkumar Pal and Findlay made their opportunities count for India and NZ, respectively. Abhishek missed the mark, while Hayden Phillips converted to put NZ 3-2 in lead. Shamsher Singh and Sam Lane missed their respective opportunities. Harmanpreet and Rajkumar stepped up again. Later, Shamsher missed the retake, resulting in India losing the shootout.

    India last won the tournament in 1975, finishing second and third in 1973 and 1971, respectively Team India exited in the quarter-finals of the 2018 edition. As per TOI, this was the first instance since 1982 of India playing at a Hockey World Cup as a medalist from the last Olympics. India ended a 41-year-long wait by winning bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
