The junior men’s hockey World Cup bronze medal match between India and Spain was delayed by an hour on Saturday.
The match which was to start at 3:30 PM IST, was delayed to 4:15 PM and later to 4:30 PM IST.
Hockey India clarified that the delay was due to heavy rains.
Spain already defeated the Indian team 4-1 in the pool stages.
On the other hand, Spain too would be hurting from a 1-3 loss against France in the semifinal and would be looking to finish their campaign with at least a bronze medal.
The Indians would also be eyeing their fourth podium finish in the history of the tournament, having won gold twice (in 2001 Hobart and 2016 Lucknow), and a silver way back in 1997 in Milton Keynes, England.
