Hockey Asian Champions Trophy 2024: Day 3 Schedule
After two thrilling days of action in the Hockey Asian Champions Trophy 2024, the teams took a well-deserved rest before resuming the tournament on September 11, 2024, in Moqi, China. As we enter the middle stage of the competition, three crucial games await on Day 3.
Match 1: Pakistan vs. Japan
The first match of the day pits Pakistan against Japan. Pakistan has been unbeaten in the tournament so far, with two draws under their belt. Their first match ended in a 2-2 draw against Malaysia, who made a remarkable comeback from trailing 2-0. Pakistan’s second match was an exhilarating encounter that ended 2-2 against Korea.
On the other hand, Japan has not been up to their mark, playing a 5-5 draw against Korea and suffering a 5-1 loss against India. Japan will be determined to secure three points and improve their standing in the tournament, while Pakistan seeks their first win.
Match 2: India vs. Malaysia
India, the top-ranked team in the tournament, has been unbeaten so far, winning their games impressively. They defeated China 3-0 and Japan 5-1, showcasing their strength and dominance. India will look to continue their winning streak against Malaysia, who had a mixed start to the tournament.
Malaysia began with a 2-2 draw against Pakistan but suffered a disappointing 4-2 loss against China. They will be eager to make a comeback and reclaim their position in the tournament.
This match promises to be a challenging encounter for Malaysia, but they will give their all to win. India’s strong performance so far makes them the favorites, but Malaysia’s determination and hunger for a win could lead to an exciting and unpredictable match.
Match 3: Korea vs. China
The third and final match of Day 3 features Korea taking on host China. Korea has also been unbeaten in the tournament, although both their games ended in draws. They made a remarkable comeback against Japan, scoring five goals to level the score, and repeated the feat against Pakistan, scoring a goal in the last 30 seconds to tie the game 2-2.
China, on the other hand, has bounced back from a 3-0 loss to India in their first match. They secured a famous 4-2 victory against Malaysia, putting them back in contention.
