The FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 is set for a high-stakes Pool D finale as India squares off against Pakistan in Amsterdam. India, currently holding three points, desperately needs a victory to advance to the second round. Their campaign began with a decisive 3-1 win over Wales, but a subsequent 4-1 loss to England has placed their qualification hopes in jeopardy.
Pakistan, meanwhile, has struggled, opening their tournament with a 4-1 defeat to England and a 3-3 draw against Wales.
