India will take on Malaysia in the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2023 in Chennai on Saturday, August 12. Team India, led by Harmanpreet Singh, has been unhurt so far. They have played 6 matches in the tournament, registering win in five and drawing one match. India started off the tournament with a thumping 7-2 win over China. Japan played well to hold India to a 1-1 draw. That was a wakeup call for India and they did improve their game. In the next match, they blanked Malaysia 5-0 before beating a fighting South Korea, also the defending champions, 3-2. India then made short work of arch-rival Pakistan beating them 4-0.
In the semi-final, they met Japan again but this team India had their plans in place for them. They beat Japan 5-0 in what turned out to be a one-sided semi-final. India now meet Mayalsia again. They had beaten them 5-0 in the previous encounter but that does not mean they start taking the Malaysians lightly. Hockey is a fast-paced game and on their day, Malaysia can pull off a surprise win and beat India in the match that matters.
Two nations on the cusp of greatness will battle it out to determine the Champion of Champions in the Hero Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023.
