Australia will be up against the Netherlands in the third-place playoff match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2023. The match will take place at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on January 29.
After a successful campaign, the Australian team crashed out of the World Cup as they lost to Germany 4-3 in a nail-biting thriller. The Aussies had a great start to the game as they were ahead by 2-0 after the halfway mark. However, they lost the plot in the second half and were knocked out of the tournament just one step away from the final.
The Netherlands also had a disappointing end to their campaign as they lost 3-2 against defending champions Belgium in the penalty shoot-out. The two finalists of the 2018 World Cup gave it their all as the match ended in a 2-2 draw after full-time.
The Dutch team failed to make it count in the subsequent penalty shoot-out and were knocked out of the tournament.
