London, Jun 17 (IBNS): Thriving on a 3-3 draw by England and Belgium, the Indian hockey team reached their first final in the Hockey Champions Trophy and will face off against Australia in the finals on Friday.

England needed a win and Belgium a win by a considerable margin. The Belgians were comfortably positioned at 3-1, but squandered their chances, allowing England to claw back to the game and India to reach their first ever finals.

The Men in Blue's previous best result was a Bronze win in 1982 event.

With a guaranteed Silver medal, India will look to avenge the Aussies, who thrashed them in their opening match by a 4-2 margin.
