KOLKATA: It’s been an eventful journey for the Indian hockey team in the Men’s Junior Asia Cup so far. While they beat Chinese Taipei 18-0 and Thailand 17-0, they earned a hard-fought 3-1 win against Japan and were held to 1-1 draw by Pakistan.
The game against Pakistan was naturally quite a hard-fought one but the two big wins helped the Indian team finish on top of Pool A and qualify for the semifinals, where they will take on South Korea on Wednesday. By making the last-four stage, the team has also qualified for the Junior World Cup to be held in Kuala Lumpur in December this year.
