NZ vs SPA Dream11 Team | Spain vs New Zealand Preview | Hockey World Cup 2018

Match 17: 6th December 2018 at 5:00 PM IST

New Zealand would look to register their second win round off the league stage when they meet Spain at Kalinga Stadium on Thursday.

Black Sticks kickstarted their campaign with a comfortable 2-1 win over France but went down against Argentina conceding three goals without getting on the scoresheet. New Zealand would want to forget the last outing and come here with the positive frame of mind.

The @BlackSticks have fallen to Argentina 3-0 in a tough battle. The game was closer than the score suggested. The @BlackSticks will now regroup and focus for their final pool match against Spain on Friday morning. #toughgame #HWC2018 #bounceback #KeepFighting pic.twitter.com/Lyy2HQSZ9G

Spain, on the other hand, would be playing for the survival in the competition. Currently, at the third spot on Pool A points tally, Spain would want to hold onto to their position as slipping down will eliminate them.
