3 Things to look forward to in the India vs Netherlands quarter final

#3 Penalty corner conversion is going to be a key factor

Netherlands are usually very clinical with their penalty corners but have been disappointing in this respect so far in this tournament. They have only been able to convert 20% of the Penalty Corners obtained and would definitely try to improve that ratio.

Hertzberger would be a key player in this regard and would try to increase his goal tally against India. Netherlands have also been able to get a lot of penalty corners through their speedy forays into the opposition circle and would be difficult to stop if they improve upon their conversion ratio.

India, on the other hand, have scored a few goals from penalty corners in this tournament and have a very good drag-flicker in the shape of Harmanpreet Singh. Amit Rohidas has also scored off a hit from a penalty corner against Canada and would give the Indians another option. India have typically never depended much upon the penalty corners, but would not mind scoring a goal or two from them in the quarter-final tomorrow.
