High-flying defending champions India will bank on their solid defensive structure to outsmart six-time title-winners Germany in the semi-final of the FIH Junior Men's Hockey World Cup here on Friday.

India produced a defensive masterclass on Wednesday to beat European giants Belgium 1-0 in the quarter-finals. And Yashdeep Siwach, Sanjay Kumar and Shardanand Tiwai at the back with goalkeepers Prasanth Chauhan and Pawan will be the key men again on Friday.
