Ipoh (Malaysia), Nov 24 (PTI) The Indian hockey team’s second round robin match against Belgium in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup tournament was rescheduled to Tuesday due to inclement weather here.
The match between India and Belgium started on time but after just three minutes heavy showers forced the on-field umpires to stop the contest.
Thereafter, the match was rescheduled to start at 8:45 PM IST but the weather didn’t improve, forcing the organisers to reschedule the contest.
“This is to inform you that the Indian Men’s Hockey Team’s match against Belgium in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2025 has been postponed. The match is now scheduled to resume tomorrow (25th November) at 10:00 MYT (7:30 AM IST),” a statement from the organisers read.
India, competing in the prestigious tournament after a gap of six years, had defeated Korea 1-0 in their opening match on Sunday.
Mohammed Raheel scored the solitary goal for India in the 15th minute following a fine buildup by the men in blue, who enjoyed midfield dominance thanks largely to Abhishek and captain Sanjay, who was part of the Paris Olympic bronze-winning side. PTI SSC BS BS
