The second match on Day 2 of the Hockey India League will witness Soorma Hockey Club taking on the Tamil Nadu Dragons in Rourkela's Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium on Sunday (December 29).An enthralling opener that had to be decided via a shootout led to the Delhi SG Pipers bagging a bonus point after having held Team Gonasika to a 2-2 draw in regulation time on Saturday.A battle of drag flickers is on the cards in the Hockey India League when the Soormas face off with the Dragons even as Harmanpreet Singh squares off against the combined firepower of Jip Janssen and Blake Govers.While the bulk of the focus is certain to be on Harmanpreet Singh who ended up as the highest scorer in the Paris Olympics, two legendary international goalkeepers will also be showcasing their incredible skills.Belgian veteran Vincent Vanasch and David Harte, one of the giants of Irish hockey, will be guarding the goal for the Soormas and the Dragons, respectively, in what promises to be an intriguing clash.Jip Janssen, part of the Dutch side that won gold at Paris 2024, will be on hand to bolster the defense for the Tamil Nadu side in the company of Germany's Moritz Ludwig and Kothajit Singh.Amit Rohidas too will add to the strength of the Dragons near the backlines while also hoping to display his drag-flicking skills alongside Aussie Blake Govers and Jip Janssen.Germany's Martin Zwicker and the Kookaburras' Nathan Ephraums will provide the impetus up front for the Tamil Nadu side looking to penetrate a deep defense manned by the Soormas' Harmanpreet and Jeremy Hayward.Argentina's Nicolas Keenan and Phil Roper of Great Britain will spearhead the attack for the Soormas who have the ever-dependable Vivek Sagar and Belgium's Victor Wegnez manning the midfield.Soorma Hockey Club vs Tamil Nadu Dragons, Hockey India League match detailsMatch Details: Soorma Hockey Club vs Tamil Nadu Dragons, League Match, Hockey India League 2024Date & Time: Sunday, December 29, 2024, 8:15 PM ISTVenue: Rourkela, IndiaSoorma Hockey Club vs Tamil Nadu Dragons: Full SquadsSoorma Hockey ClubGoalkeepers: Vincent Vanasch, Mohith HS, Jashandeep SinghDefenders: Gurinder Singh, Maurya Ashu, Pradip Mandal, Nicolas Della Torre, Jeremy Hayward, Sukhvinder, Harmanpreet SinghMidfielders: Vivek Sagar Prasad, Ankush, Victor Wegnez, Prabhjot Singh, Sunit Lakra, Harjeet Singh, Nicolas PonceletForwards: Nicolas Keenan, Boris Burkhardt, Harish Somappa, Phil Roper, Pawan Rajbhar, Maninder Singh, Gurjant SinghTamil Nadu DragonsGoalkeepers: David Harte, Arasu Senthamizh, Prince Deep SinghDefenders: Jip Janssen, Kothajit Singh, Anand Lakra, Pruthvi GM, Moritz Ludwig, Anand Y, Amit RohidasMidfielders: Chandan Yadav, Blake Govers, Thomas Sorsby, Shesha Gowda, Dhilipan M, Arun J, Tom Craig, Mohd.
