Fresh from an emphatic 4-1 win against Pakistan in their first face off at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium here on Sunday, the Indian hockey team will take on Australia in their second Pool ''B'' match of the Hockey World Cup at the same venue today.

Havocs in Pakistani ranks were spread by the Indian frontline led by Prabhjot Singh, Shivendra Singh and Rajpal Singh with their fast-paced interchanges as Team India registered their first win on Sunday.

But there is some bad news for the Indian camp as striker Shivendra Singh has been suspended for three matches of the ongoing tournament due to hitting out at Pakistani players in Sunday''s match. (With Inputs from Agencies)
