Hockey Asian Champions Trophy 2024: Day 4 Schedule
As we head into Day 4 of the Hockey Asian Champions Trophy 2024, the tournament is heating up, and every match now holds immense importance. With each team having played three games, they find themselves in a do-or-die situation, where the upcoming matches will determine their fate in the competition.
Match 1: Malaysia vs. Japan
The first match of Day 4 features Malaysia taking on Japan in a crucial game. Both teams have had a challenging start, each suffering two losses and one draw, making this a must-win encounter to keep their semi-final hopes alive. The losing team will be out of contention for the next round, adding significant pressure to this fixture.
- Malaysia comes into this game after a disappointing 8-1 loss against India. They will need to regroup quickly and maintain high morale to remain in the competition.
- Japan faced a narrow 1-0 loss to Pakistan in their last game, where they created multiple chances but failed to convert. They will need to capitalize on their opportunities in this match to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
With both teams facing elimination, this match is vital. Expect a fiercely contested battle as they fight to stay in the tournament.
Match 2: India vs. Korea
The second match of Day 4 features India, the strongest team in the tournament so far, going head-to-head against Korea.
- India has been unbeaten with three consecutive wins, showcasing top-class performance and dominance against every team they have faced. Their winning streak will be put to the test as they face Korea.
- Korea has had a mixed tournament, with two draws and a win. Their recent 3-2 victory against host China will boost their morale, but taking on India is a daunting task.
This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with India looking to continue their winning streak and Korea seeking to cause an upset. Will India’s dominance persist, or can Korea pull off a surprise win? Both teams will give their all to emerge victorious, making this a match to watch closely.
Match 3: Pakistan vs. China
The third match of Day 4 brings Pakistan against China.
- Pakistan remains unbeaten in the tournament, with two draws against Malaysia and Korea, and a recent 2-1 win over Japan. They will be looking to secure another victory to confirm their place in the semi-finals.
- China has had a mixed performance so far. After losing 3-0 to India, they bounced back with a 4-2 win over Malaysia but then fell to Korea with a 3-2 loss. This game is crucial for China to get back on track.
China’s position is precarious; they must win this game to keep their semi-final hopes alive. With another challenging match against Japan ahead, a loss here could jeopardize their chances of qualifying for the next round.
