The Indian men's hockey team will be up against the Australian team in the third game of the five-match Test series in Perth Hockey Stadium on Wednesday, April 10.
The Australian team prevailed 4-2 over India in the second game of the series. Jeremy Hayward (6', 34'). Jacob Anderson (42'), and Nathan Ephraums (45') scored the goals for the hosts, while Jugraj Singh (9') and skipper Harmanpreet Singh (30') found the back of the net for India.
It will certainly take a diligent effort from the Indian team to save the series against the mighty Australian team. Nevertheless, with a different approach and mindset, India will look to pose a serious challenge and prepare well for the Paris Olympics.

India vs Australia Prediction
The second game saw Australia continue their aggressive mindset to put relentless pressure on the Indian defenders. Their assaults have certain bare fruits, as India have been clueless on most occasions.
Importantly, many positions have been left unattended by the visitors, which has allowed the Australian team to score the goals easily. It will be interesting to see if the Indian team improves their defense, otherwise, the Australian team is likely to win the series.
Prediction: Australia is expected to win.
