India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: As things stand, India could meet Great Britain in the quarterfinal of the Paris Olympics. GBR are currently third in Pool A; however, their position can change if they beat Germany in their final match of the group stage.

2 - India 10 pts (5 matches)

Matches remaining:

New Zealand vs Ireland

Belgium vs Argentina

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: With the historic win against Australia, India have climbed to second spot in Pool B. Their position can still change, depending on the result of Belgium's match against Argentina. A win for the Red Lions, or even a draw, will mean India will proceed to quarterfinals as the second-placed side. However, if Belgium lose, goal difference would come into play as Argentina will level India on points.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The 1972 Olympics in Munich was the last time when India had defeated Australia in men's hockey (3-1). Since then, the two sides met on seven occasions in Olympics, with Australia winning a six and one ending in a draw. Ahead of tonight's match, the Aussies entered as overwhelming favourites too, but Harmanpreet's men defied the odds to clinch a brilliant 3-2 win.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: India have beaten Australia in an Olympic match after 52 years!

A memorable victory for the side with a last-second drama, too, as Australia have a video referral turned down for potential penalty corner. One of India's best performances in recent memory; while the score does suggest an intense game, India almost outclassed their opponents with more finesse in their moves, and brilliant defending.

India have beaten Australia 3-2!

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Australia with a couple of chances that went wayward. India win the ball back after Australia's last attempt goes past the right goalpost.

Q4, IND 3-2 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Australia win a penalty stroke! They had found the back of the net in the same move but referee blew the whistle before the shot was taken.

It didn't matter much, though, as Blake Govers scores in the 55th minute to pull one back for the Aussies.

Q4, IND 3-2 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Amit Rohidas finds the back of the net but Australia ask for a video referral.

The referral is upheld! The Indian attacker seems to have blocked the Australian defender's view, which caused the goal to be reversed.

Q4, IND 3-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: This is quite unlike Australia, honestly! Their attacker fails to play to the whistle and the Indian midfielder snatches the ball to lead the attack. He wins the PC but Harmanpreet misses again.

Q4, IND 3-1 AUS

Q4, IND 3-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: A couple of attacks from India fall flat, thanks partly to excellent defending from the Australians in the opening minutes of Q4. Conversely, Australia's passing has also been poor, which is pretty surprising. They've handed the ball to India twice due to poor passing within the first five minutes.

Q4, IND 3-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The final quarter begins. India only 15 minutes away from one of their most memorable Olympic hockey wins in recent memory

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: India will be pleased with their performance in this quarter. Australia had the momentum going into half-time despite trailing 1-2, but India put the Aussies under instant pressure with an early goal in the 32nd minute. Australia's attempts at attack were largely wayward, as India go into the final 15 minutes a more confident side.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Call it commentator's curse. Australia win a penalty corner after a rough challenge from Rajkumar, but poor execution from the Australian drag flicker.

India lead one final counter-attack but Australian defenders are quick to minimise the danger.

End of Q3! IND 3-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Despite sustained attacks from both ends, none prove too threatening. Australia came close to scoring their second goal, but excellent positioning by the Indian defender ensured the final pass went unrewarded.

Q3 IND 3-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Abhishek with a shot on goal but Charter makes an easy save, as the ball came straight towards his leg. India continue to lead 3-1 against Australia, with a little over 6 minutes remaining in the third quarter.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: A coolly taken penalty stroke from the Indian captain to double the side's lead! Harmanpreet aims for the bottom left corner and while Aussie GK Charter goes the right way, the shot is too quick for him.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Harmanpreet takes the shot in India's penalty corner, and the Indians believe the ball was deflected through the Australian defenders' foot.

REFERRAL UPHELD. PENALTY STROKE FOR INDIA

Q3 IND 2-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: India finished the half-time with higher possession than Australia (51 percent to Aussies' 49). But Australia looked significantly more threatening in the second quarter.

Will the men in blue continue to maintain their lead? The third quarter begins.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: India lead 2-1 at half-time against Australia.

An impressive performance from the Indians, particularly by Jarmanpreet who has been excellent in defence, and led multiple attacks. Abhishek and Harmanpreet found the back of the net for the men in blue. Sreejesh, meanwhile, has been colossal for India, particularly in the second quarter, making a host of brilliant saves to deny the Aussies a potential lead.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Jarmanpreet tackles the Australian attacker and wins the ball back, and India make some clever moves in the opponent's half. They win two free hits but Australia remain vigilant in their defence. A minute to go.

Q2, IND 2-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Abhishek has been brilliant in the attack so far. He dribbles and wins the PC for the side.

Harmanpreet is on target again! But Aussie goalkeeper Charter makes an excellent save to deny India a two-goal lead.

Q2, IND 2-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: A third PC for Australia. Manpreet makes a laudable defensive effort as the last man standing in front of the goal, but conceds the PC.

Australia finally find the back of the net after initially missing through the penalty corner, with Thomas Craig opening the scoring for the side.

Q2, IND 2-1 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The Australians have been notably off-target today, which is quite unlike them. While their shots have been wayward, Indian defence has been brilliant with its interceptions. This is an excellent performance from Harmanpreet's men so far.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The Aussies have come out with a lot more intensity in the second quarter, and quite unsurprisingly so. They win a penalty corner.

WHAT A SAVE FROM SREEJESH! The Indian goalkeeper shows great reflexes, raising his left hand in time to deny Aussies their opening goal of the match.

Q2, IND 2-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The second quarter begins. Australia make an excellent move but Brand fails to execute the finish, shooting the ball wide off the left post.

Q2, IND 2-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: A dream start for India.

Australia never looked threatening in front of the goal, with the Indian defenders putting out an excellent shift in the opening 15 minutes. Despite missing a relatively simple chance in the early minutes, India bounced back brilliantly with Abhishek and Harmanpreet on the scoresheet. The side would be hoping for more of the same in the next 15 minutes

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: This is incredible!

Harmanpreet scores through the penalty corner again. And water is wet.

Well, that's how easy he makes it! The Indian captain doubles the side's lead with an excellent goal as India continue to put pressure on the Aussies.

Q1, IND 2-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: INDIA LEAD! ABHISHEK SCORES!

End to end stuff here. Right after Australia's penalty corner, India launch a surprise attack and Abhishek eventually finds the net, beating their goalkeeper Charter.

Q1, IND 1-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Sreejesh makes a brilliant save but Australia manage to win a penalty corner.

No harm done, though, as the Australian drag-flicker Hayward slots the ball wide off the left post.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Australia with a series of attacks on Indian goal this time. However, none too threatening.

Hayward takes a shot but it is wide off the left post. Jarmanpreet, then, does excellent defensive work to negate another attack from the Aussies.

7 minutes remaining in Q1. IND 0-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: An excellent chance goes begging!

Jarmanpreet delivers an excellent cross to an unmarked Shamsher inside the box, but the latter fails to collect the ball onto the stick. A poor touch meant the Australian defender had enough time to intercept and end the attack. A big miss for India, and they will hope it doesn't cost them in this game.

Q1, IND 0-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Gurjant leads an early move for India, but a timely interception from the Australian defender nullifies the attack. Shamsher Singh has the first shot on goal but it is saved by goalkeeper Charter.

Q1, IND 0-0 AUS

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Anthems are done, and Sreejesh led the final team talk in a group huddle before the match. A reminder that this is Sreejesh's final tournament with the men's hockey team.

Q1 begins!

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The players from both teams line up for the national anthems at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in Paris!

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: If India fails to get a positive result against Australia, the side will turn its attention to the final match in Pool B, where Argentina take on the top-placed Belgium. A loss for Argentina would then bring the equation to goal difference, deciding the third and fourth places in the pool. Conversely, if India win, a victory for Belgium would be enough for the side to ensure a second-placed finish.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Swiss life coach Mike Horn took the Indian men's team on a journey to Glacier 3000 in Switzerland during the side's three-day camp in the country. By pushing the team beyond their comfort zones, Horn aimed to foster camaraderie and confront their fears of failure. The team also underwent cycling adventure through picturesque Swiss terrain; Horn has worked with the 2011 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team, the 2014 IPL-winning KKR side, and the 2014 World Cup football champions Germany in his illustrious career.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: India wouldn't want to revisit the memories of their last encounter with Australia at the Olympics. The two sides met in Pool A in the Tokyo 2020 Games, where Australia thrashed the men in blue 7-1. Seven players from the XI that took on Australia – Harmanpreet, Sreejesh, Manpreet, Mandeep, Hardik, Shamsher, and Rohidas – will take the field against Australia today.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: It had been a brilliant performance from the Indian team in front of its home crowd in Odisha in February earlier this year, with Australia's late equaliser forcing a shootout after the game ended 2-2.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Netherlands defeated Spain earlier this morning, jumping to top spot in Pool A with 10 points.

In fact, their goal difference is similar too (+2), but India stay ahead as they have scored more goals.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Interestingly, the last time India and Australia met in men's hockey was during the five-Test series in Australia this April. India would be aiming to put behind the memories of the series, though; the side faced a 0-5 clean sweep to the home side. Having said that, the Indian team has been impressive in the ongoing Olympics, barring the momentary lapses in defence.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The Indian team have a golden chance to finish in the top-2, given they secure a win against Australia in their final Pool B match on Friday. Australia's only loss in the pool has come against Belgium, who crushed them 6-2. Will India hold the Aussies to potentially secure a favourable draw in the knock-outs?

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: The Indian team made a dramatic start to their Olympic campaign with a 3-2 win over New Zealand, thanks to Harmanpreet Singh's goal in the dying minutes of the match.

India vs Australia Live Score, Men's Hockey Paris Olympics 2024: Australia have a significant advantage in the head-to-head tie.
