Assured of a place in the semi-finals, defending champions India would look to continue their winning run when they clash with Japan in their final round robin match of the Asian Champions Trophy men’s hockey tournament, here on Sunday.


After a slow start to the tournament, Olympic bronze-medallist India roared back into the five-team tournament with two consecutive wins. India were held to a 2-2 draw by Korea in their opener. However, they trounced hosts Bangladesh 9-0 and then got the better of Pakistan 3-1 on Friday.


India are currently leading the standings with seven points from three games ahead of Korea (5), Japan (2) and Pakistan (1). Coming into the tournament as clear favourites, the Indians were by far the better side among all other teams, simply on the basis of form and world standings.
