India vs Uzbekistan Hockey Live Score: The Indian men’s hockey team will be back in action on Day 3 of the Asian Games, their next opponents being Singapore in a Pool A match. The Indian team enters this competition on the back of some heavy dose of confidence. India, ranked world no. 3, hammered Uzbekistan 16-0 to start their Asiad campaign on a high and would be favourites to dish out another such show against the 49th-ranked Singapore. They could be in line to register back-to-back landslide margin victories. The hockey contingent is expected to continue India’s medal rush at the Asian Games, which has already seen the tally go up to 11.
Craig Fulton, the India coach, approaches the next challenge with a cautious eye on India’s untested defense in the Uzbekistan match. In that game, goalkeepers PR Sreejesh and Krishan Bahadur Pathak had a leisurely 60 minutes, having not faced a single shot. With this stark contrast, Fulton’s team is expected to cruise to their second consecutive victory.
Singapore, on the other hand, must grapple with low morale after suffering an 0-11 pummeling from Pakistan in their tournament opener. Unfortunately for them, history isn’t on their side either, as India trounced them 15-1 in their last encounter way back in 2012. Looking ahead, the Indian team aims to maintain their confidence and winning momentum as they gear up for two challenging pool matches. They’ll face the defending champions, Japan, on September 28, followed by the fierce rivalry clash against Pakistan on September 30, before concluding their campaign against Bangladesh on October 2.

India vs Singapore Live Score: IND’s room for improvement
India vs Singapore Live Score: When you thrash your opponents 16-0, nine out of 10 times you tick all boxes. But even by India’s standards, they would want to brush up a key area – converting penalty corners. The team understands that it can enhance their penalty corner conversion rate as they are considered firm favorites. With just 5 conversions from 14 chances, and their penalty corners haven’t quite lived up to expectations, despite the presence of a talented group of drag-flickers.

India vs Singapore Live Score: IND vs SIN head-to-head contests
India vs Singapore Live Score: There haven’t been too many India vs Singapore contests in the past. In fact, these two teams have squared off against each other just twice before, their first clash dating decades back to 1956. India and Singapore then had to wait for another 56 years before they crossed paths, this time at the Hero FIH Road to London tournament in Delhi. India put on quite the show there, smashing Singapore to win the contest 15-1. Given Singapore’s previous performance, it’s possible that we could witness a similar outcome this time, with India appearing to be the stronger of the two sides.
