#1 An easy affair, but not without lessons
Though this win was a rather easy affair, it is solely because of the attacking outfit of the Dutch team, and to an extent, the efforts put in by goalkeeper Permin Blaak.
However, this also has some tough lessons for the Dutch team. Throughout their journey at the World Cup, they have scored 18 goals, of which only four have come from penalty corners.
To make matters worse, these four have come from the 21 penalty corners that Netherlands have earned, which is way lesser than even most of the minnows, who've been knocked out earlier from this World Cup.
This is a weakness that Netherlands cannot afford to intensify, for their quarterfinal is against the team, which knows this weakness much better than them.
Earlier panned for their poor penalty corner conversion, even India has scored much better than the Dutch on this part, as they've converted some six goals out of 13 penalty corners they received, way better than their past performances this year.
If the Dutch don't improve in time, this is one place where India can outwit them, and rather badly at it.
