India Knocked Out of Hockey World Cup Semifinals After 1-3 Loss to Netherlands

India's hopes of reaching the Hockey World Cup semifinals have been extinguished following a 1-3 defeat against the Netherlands. The loss left India without a single point in the second round of the tournament. India had previously suffered a defeat against England in the first round, further weakening their position. Even a win in their remaining second-round match against Argentina on Monday would yield only three points, which would be insufficient to qualify for the semifinals. India will now compete in the fifth-to-eighth place classification matches instead.
