Full-time: NED 2 - 1 IND

The game was a cagey affair in the first quarter with several turnovers and lots of midfield action.

Thereafter, the game opened up a bit and India opened the deadlock in the way they know best - a Harmanpreet PC.

The Dutch, relentless in their effort, found an equalizer with a moment of brilliance from Van Dam.

Thereafter, they found their footing and grew in confidence.

And in the final quarter, Van Dam scored again with a superlative reverse hit.

India will regroup and return to take on the Dutch again on the 9th of June.
