India will look to win a record-extending fifth Asian Champions Trophy title when they take on hosts China in the hockey tournament’s final on Tuesday.
The men in blue brushed aside South Korea in a 4-1 win in the second semifinal on Monday, while the hosts stunned three-time champions Pakistan 2-0 in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1-1 in normal time.
India were pre-tournament favourites for the title following their podium finish at the Paris Olympics 2024, where they beat Spain to bag bronze.
However, China’s win over former hockey powerhouse Pakistan came as a surprise as the Green Shirts were left to rue a string of missed opportunities in front of goal.
