"It was an important match. We needed a match like this before the quarterfinals. From the start, we put them under pressure. It's a proud moment to beat Australia," said a proud Harmanpreet after the match against Australia on Friday.

With just two wins away from achieving back-to-back Olympic medals, India's chief coach Craig Fulton has reason to instill self-belief in his team for another good show against Great Britain.

The transition of the ball from defence through the midfield to the forward line was a treat to watch. The Indians are likely to use aerial passes effectively against Great Britain, a strategy that yielded rich dividends against Australia, against whom they lost 0-5 in a Test series in Perth just before the Games.

The transition of the ball from defence through the midfield to the forward line was a treat to watch. The Indians are likely to use aerial passes effectively against Great Britain, a strategy that yielded rich dividends against Australia, against whom they lost 0-5 in a Test series in Perth just before the Games.

The backline defended stoutly with Amit Rohidas and Jarmanpreet Singh shining bright, while veteran custodian PR Sreejesh, playing his last international tournament, stood like a wall in front of the goal, making numerous saves. India will rely on him to deliver once again against Great Britain.

Abhishek was a standout player in the forward line, scoring a superb field goal, his second of the tournament, to give India the lead. Skipper Harmanpreet Singh sparkled for India, scoring a brace and bringing his total to six goals in the tournament. 

India showed dominance against Australia, especially in the first two quarters, controlling the match's tempo with relentless attacking play. The coordination between the midfield, led by Manpreet Singh and vice-captain Hardik Singh, and the forward line, where Gurjant Singh and Sukhjeet Singh excelled, was the highlight of India's performance. On Sunday, the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallists will look for an encore from these departments to outwit world No. 2 Great Britain.
