India 1-0 China
59' Q4: Nerves and missed passes from both teams! China are desperately trying to penetrate the Indian circle, but the defenders are standing strong. The visitors will need something magical to get an equaliser, and they do just that, replacing their goalkeeper with an outfield player.

53' Q4: China are slowing down the pace of the game, trying to build their play before attacking the Indian circle.

India and China will battle for supremacy in the final of the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy 2024 at the Rajgir Hockey Stadium in Bihar on Wednesday, November 20.
The Indian women’s hockey team, led by Salima Tete, has been in scintillating form, remaining unbeaten in the tournament and scoring a comprehensive 3-0 victory over China in the league stage. They now aim to clinch back-to-back titles, a feat only achieved by Korea in the competition’s history.
India advanced to the final with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Japan in the semifinals, thanks to early strikes from Navneet Kaur and Lalremsiami. The defending champions displayed excellent defensive discipline, keeping their opponents at bay throughout the match. Captain Savita Punia’s leadership from goal has been instrumental in India maintaining a spotless record in the tournament.
China, on the other hand, showcased their attacking flair with a 3-1 semifinal win over Malaysia. Deng Quichan, Fan Yunxia, and Tan Jinzhuang were the goal-scorers, emphasising the depth in their offensive lineup. However, their earlier loss to India in the group stage could weigh on their minds as they face a disciplined and confident Indian team.
For India, the dynamic forward duo of Lalremsiami and Navneet Kaur has been a major highlight, combining speed and precision to dismantle opposition defences. Meanwhile, the midfield, anchored by experienced campaigners like Neha and Sushila Chanu, has ensured a seamless transition between attack and defence.
China will rely on key players like Yunxia Fan and Jiali Zheng to break down India’s robust defence, with an eye on exploiting any lapses in concentration.
The Rajgir Hockey Stadium is expected to provide a vibrant backdrop, with home support likely to boost the Indian side. A victory here would not only extend their unbeaten streak but also solidify their status as a dominant force in Asian women’s hockey.
As the curtain falls on the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy 2024, both teams will be eager to etch their names in history. With contrasting styles and high stakes, fans can expect a thrilling contest in Bihar as two Asian hockey powerhouses collide.
