Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE blog from India's clash against Poland at the Men's Junior Hockey World Cup 2021
India's campaign in the World Cup started on a horrid note, falling to a 4-5 defeat against underdogs France. With the title defence on the line, the youngsters led by Vivek Sagar Prasad hit back with a thumping 13-1 win over Canada to get things back on track.
However, things are not done yet. A loss today will put them out of the title race. Can the Indian colts maintain their winning run?
Stay tuned for all the latest updates!

India penetrates
Finally a counter from India, thanks to Rahul mainly. He passes it in but the Polish goalkeeper does well to deny India their seventh.
India 6-1 Poland

Poland scoresss!!
7th time is the lucky charm for the Polish team as they finally, finally slot one in. There goes India's dream of ending the group stage with a clean slate.

Another PC for Poland
This is horrendous from India. Yes, they are 6-0 up but they cannot afford handing out such PCs. Yashdeep Siwach, the culprit this time.

Another PC, another miss
Poland are clearly struggling here. That's the 6th PC missed in the evening.

Pawan, you beauty!
Comes in for Prashant and saves a PC rather easily. Poland still goalless.
India 6-0 Poland

PC number 5, Poland
Poland penetrates again and earns one more PC. Is this the time?

Vivek sent off, AGAIN!
Vivek Sagar Prasad has been shown a green card for the second time tonight. This is really poor from the Indian skipper and India are down to 10 men.

PC, MISSED
4th penalty corner of the evening for Poland and that's fourth miss for them. Can't do this against a side of India's quality.

Fantastic save from Prashant
Poland once again start strongly, but Prashant Chauhan denies them again!

Opportunity missed!
A golden opportunity for India, Uttam Singh tries to deflect it in but in the process takes the ball away from Rabichandra, who was clearly in a better position to slot this in. Poor stuff.
That's also the end of the third quarter and India scored thrice in 15 minutes. Maninder has been absent, but it has not had much of an impact on India.
India 6-0 Poland
