The Indian women won 2-0, continuing from where they had left off and defeating Korea for the second time in as many games to reach the final of the Jharkhand Asian Champions Trophy here on Saturday.
They will now take on Japan in a repeat of the bronze medal match at the Asian Games, seeking only their second title against the defending champion after the Japanese upset reigning Asian Games champion China 2-1 in the other semifinal. China will play Korea for the third spot.
India’s intentions and attempts were clear from the beginning as the host stayed on the attack and had a couple of penalty corners inside the first five minutes but shot wide on both occasions.
