Hockey World Cup 2018, Australia vs China: 3 Standout Players from the match

#2 Eddie Ockenden (Australia)

Ockenden was rock solid for Australia at the back

Captain Eddie Ockenden was always there at the back for the Aussies whenever needed. The 31-year-old midfielder -- despite not finding his name on the scoresheet -- finds his name on this list.

Ockenden was rock solid for Australia at the back. Whenever China posed even a little bit of a threat then he was there to intercept the ball.

He really was always calm and composed on the ball and proved indeed that he is the most experienced player on the pitch.

Ockdensen even made a vital interception as China were on the break in the final minute. However, he did not even allow the men in red to have their consolation goal and ensured his side maintained the clean sheet.

The Australian team always does well under the leadership of the Tasmania-born player. The highly gifted midfielder was part of the Australian team when they lifted the trophies at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, respectively.

He would want to extend his glorious career by leading Australia to a hat-trick of World Cup titles. The vocal player will play a vital part in the quarterfinal match as well.
