India lock horns with Switzerland in the third game of Pool B in Men’s FIH Hockey5s World Cup 2024 in Oman on Sunday, January 28.
Team India ended the 2023 Men's Asian Hockey5s World Cup Qualifier on top of the standings after beating Pakistan 2-0 on penalties in the gold medal game. They secured wins over Bangladesh (15-1), Oman (12-2), Malaysia (7-5) and Japan (35-1) but had lost 5-4 to Pakistan in the pool stage.
Maninder Singh (22) and Mohammed Raheel (21) were the top goal-scorers in the campaign for India. The Men In Blue ended the campaign with the most goals (87) in the competition.

Elias Bronnimann was the top goalscorer with 12 goals from seven games in the qualifying campaign. It will be interesting to watch how they fare against favorites Team India in their opening encounter.
