India will face England in their second group-stage match at the FIH World Cup 2026 on Monday. Both teams began their campaigns with wins. India beat Wales 3-1, with captain Harmanpreet Singh scoring twice, while England defeated Pakistan 4-1.
Another win for either team will strengthen its position in Pool D, with the top two teams from each of the four pools advancing to the next stage and keeping their semifinal hopes alive. The bottom two teams will instead compete in classification matches.
For India, the focus will be on maintaining the defensive solidity and penalty-corner efficiency that helped them beat Wales, while improving their finishing.
Against an England side capable of matching their intensity and capitalising on even the smallest openings, India will need to remain composed in possession and clinical inside the circle.
