India set up Champions Trophy final with Australia after draw with Dutch

Indian men's hockey team forced a 1-1 draw against hosts Netherlands in their last league match to set up the Champions Trophy summit clash with world number one Australia, here today.

After three goal-less quarters, foward Mandeep Singh put India ahead with his strike in the 47th minute off rebound from Harmanpreet's drag-flick.

Eighth minutes later, the hosts pulled one back with Thierry Brinkman finding the net from a shot from close-range.

India needed only a draw to qualify for Sunday's final.
