CWG 2022: India run into plucky South Africa in men's hockey
India were hoping not to run into Aran Zalewski and his men before the title round and they did well to avoid them by topping Pool 'B'. But the semifinals on Saturday will be a tricky contest against a plucky South Africa who battled past New Zealand in their last league outing to end a 20-year-old semifinal drought. In terms of history and current ranking, India will start favourites on paper. But on the pitch, the South Africans, ranked 13 in the world, can pose a stiff challenge.
