India lose 1-3 to Netherlands in their final league game!!!!

India lose 1-3 to Netherlands in their final league game, finish last with only one point in Pool B

Five minutes to the match and Netherlands leading 3-1!!

First Penalty Corner for India!!!

Indian players have to put tremendous effort as they first have to negate the 2-0 lead and then to think of victory which seems highly unlikely at this moment

Fourth and final Quarter is underway!!!!

Netherlands lead 2-0 against India after third Quarter!!!

Five minutes to third quarter and India still trailing 0-1!!

Netherlands finally get the first Penalty Corner of the match!!!

Dangerous display by Birender Lakra

Ramandeep does it again!!

Ramandeep traps a fine long ball from Sunil inside the circle but can not send a fine cross further

Netherlands lead 4-1 against India in their previous five meetings

Third Quarter is underway with both the teams looking to break the deadlock!!!

Too much excitement so far but the score is missing

Well played Team India!!!

@TheHockeyIndia well played team India. Good flight. Great show till now. #sardarsingh and #hockeyindia giving a good fight ‐ Kajal Purohit (@kajalpurohit) November 30, 2015

Skipper Sardar Singh initiates a fine move but SV Sunil messes it up

Dutch players have more possession than Indian players in second quarter

Indian defenders are on the move too as they are marking Dutch strikers quite well

Five minutes to half-time and it's still 0-0!!

Dutch are on the attack now as they are creating more opportunities after denying India few chances

India have more circle entries than their opponents and both have one shot each on the goal so far

Indian players trying as hard as they can but the Dutch defenders are not giving them an inch

Second Quarter is underway!!

Two minutes left in first Quarter and it's still 0-0

Ramandeep misses a sitter!!!

Ramandeep is under pressure as he misses a sitter this time. All he has to do is just to beat the goalkeeper

Both India and Netherlands are looking for a breakthrough while fighting it out in the middle

Ramandeep misses a fine opportunity

Akashdeep gives a fine ball to Ramandeep on top of the striking circle but he messes it up by not trapping it

Here goes the whistle and the match is underway!!!

Raghunath all set to play his 200th match!!!

Join me to wish this big boy @raghuhock for his #200th #match for @TheHockeyIndia @rajeshkalra @times @FIH_Hockey pic.twitter.com/KpVsVKP1jK ‐ sreejesh p r (@16Sreejesh) November 30, 2015

With the hosts languishing at the bottom of group B after their first two matches, their encounter against the Dutch is crucial with the Netherlands coming off a 3-2 win over Argentina on Saturday.
