ANI Antwerp (Belgium)

The Indian men's hockey team will be fully geared to take on arch-rivals Pakistan in their high-octane thriller of the Hockey World League Semi-Final in Antwerp on Friday.

Although the Sardar Singh-led team has claimed two successive win by defeating France (3-2) and Poland (3-0), they were far from impressive.

Meanwhile, Pakistan edged past Poland 2-1 before being thrashed by world champions Australia 6-1 in their second match of the tournament.

Despite securing themselves a berth for next year's Rio Olympics, India seek to leave no stone unturned in their much-anticipated Pool A contest.
