India vs Australia, CWG 2022 Hockey Final Live: India face the mighty Australians in the final of the men's hockey at the ongoing Commonwealth Games. The Manpreet Singh-led side entered the final after beating South Africa 3-2, while Australia advanced to the summit clash with a 3-2 win over England. It is worth noting that six editions of the men's hockey in CWG has taken place since the introduction of the sport at the event in 1998 and Australia have won all of them. Meanwhile, India earlier entered two finals in 2010 and 2014 only to lose to Australia. In 2018, India had finished at the fourth spot. However, Monday gives Manpreet Singh-led India a fresh opportunity to write a new chapter in the history of Commonwealth Games.
The Indian team came close to winning coveted gold on women cricket's CWG debut but fell short by nine runs after being in a dominant position against Australia. It was deja vu for Harmanpreet and Co. who had suffered a similar inexplicable batting collapse during the T20 World Cup finals defeat against Australia in 2020 and the 2017 ODI World Cup final in England. "Every time in big finals, we make the same mistakes again and again (with the bat). That is something we have to improve," Harmanpreet said after the match on Sunday. "We don't do these mistakes in the league phase or in bilateral. That is blocking our mind somewhere," the skipper added.
