India Beat Japan 4-0 To Win Women's Asian Champions Trophy Hockey Title

Ranchi, Nov 5: Playing exhilarating hockey from the word go, an aggressive Indian women’s team crushed title holders Japan 4-0 to lift its second Asian Champions Trophy title here on Sunday.

The match started 50 minutes late because of issues with the floodlights.

India overcame the two-time champions through goals from Sangita Kumari (17th minute), Neha (46th), Laremsiami (57th) and Vandana Katariya (60th).

India won their maiden Asian Champions Trophy title in 2016 in Singapore, while Japan bagged the crown twice, in 2013 and 2021.
