Asia Cup | Consumption-Star India disintegrates China, takes Korea at the summit

Hard, hard, stress. India’s last Super 4S game in the Asia Cup against China was expected to be more.

Instead, it was a masterclass that the Indian team was capable when it got his mind, as the host ran Rafshod for a 7–0 win for the storm in the final and a step close to the World Cup spot on Saturday.

The three-time champions will now take the five-time winner Korea in the final, when the holder overtook Malaysia 4-3 in another Super 4S game.

If China had any hope of harassing or closing India, it was for a reality check.

India looked like a team on a mission. It began at a banging speed and maintained the tempo through the first 30 minutes, not only ratched its opponent, but also panting it as an impressive Chinese defense, which was still held strong in the competition.

The speed was with dominance of both occupation and location. So much so that for the first two quarters, China barely entered the Indian circle or a look at the target. Every attempt to find space resulted in a turnover that threatened to score India.

Harmanpreet Singh was posted in Hafway Line, Jarmanpreet and Amit Rohidas, who were helping Flax and Sanjay, even coming close to scoring. Shilanand Laxma disregarded a works in the fourth minute after a couple with a couple. Abhishek, back on striking duty after playing in the role taken back in the previous game, threatened continuously.

Hardik and Rajinder tirelessly tried to run the length and width of the ground and Sumit and Manpreet and run circles around the midfield and defense.

Each one of the first two quarters was rescued by both a penalty corner, only to look at the rebels, first by Dilpreet on the near post and then by the mandip, on the goal, which was 3–0 within the first 20 minutes. Post the brake, the frantic speed was replaced by the more controlled tempo, but was equally prominent. The Chinese carefully pushed forward, knowing that he had to go to the game, but left the back gaps to accept four more. If the first half was about the speed, the second was about claiming superiority. The number says all this: 19 circle entries in India and 13 shots were for four and one for China respectively. China’s biggest weapon was not zero by not accepting a single PC.

Meanwhile, Korea returned by two goals to reach the final of their seventh tournament. Moving back 3–1, Korea hit Malaysia in three minutes in eight minutes, which scrambled for a par, but not found in the previous way of goalkeeper Jehan Kim.

Kazakhstan won 6–4 against Taiwan by Agimte Duizngzi in a five-bowl competition, with seventh place.
