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!

The Indian coach is happy
"Pretty pleased with the first half. We wanted to start quickly, put them some scoreboard pressure and we have done exactly that," says Indian coach Graham Reid at halftime.

Complete Domination by India
The Indians were expected to dominate this Polish team and they have done exactly that. Poland has not even enjoyed a lot of possession, to be honest, and even when they have had the ball they have not managed to pose any serious threat to the boys in blue.
For now, it is all India at the Kalinga Stadium. Looks like a passage to the quarterfinals won't be that tough for India.
India 3-0 Poland

Brilliant save!
Some confusion between the players there but the Indians go ahead with the shot anyways; the Polish custodian is distracted but he saves anyways. That is also the end of the first half!

Wild swing
A very wild swing from Sudeep inside the circle and he does not even manage to touch the ball. That was funny in real-time! Surely, not from him.

Another SAVE!
The Polish goalkeeper has been an absolute star. Saves yet another PC, this time from Araijeet Hundal.

PC number 4 for India
Araijeet Hundal earns it this time. Can India pile on the misery?

Sudeeeep scoressss!
It is a field goal this time. Wonderful display of skills by the youngster as he almost bisects two defenders and then slots it in via a reverse flick.
