The defending champions, India, after starting their campaign with an emphatic 3-0 win over hosts China in their first match, will now face Japan in their second match of the 2024 Asian Champions Trophy on Monday, September 9, at the Moqi training base in Hulunbuir City, Mongolia.
The Indian team was firing on all cylinders on Sunday, with both offence and defence working in perfect sync. The Indian team, often criticised for only scoring through penalty corners, also managed to score one field goal in their first game, proving why they are the favourites to win the tournament for a record-extending fifth time in China.
