2 Big Matches in 7th Women's Asia Cup 2009 today

In the Women's Hockey Asia Cup 2009 in Bangkok, here's the big match lined up for the day:
India v China at 1430 (Thailand time), i.e. 1300 IST.

Another one, not to be missed is:
Japan v Korea at 1630 (Thailand time), i.e. 1500 IST.

India needs a draw or a win to reserve their berth in the Semi Final.
However, I am positive that India will not taking the match easily. As the coach claims, a win here would be a moral booster.
Here's a report on the same:

Considering the fact that China is the favourite for the Asia Cup, it may be tough for India.

Although, Japan and Korea both have made it to be semis but these matches can serve as the backdrop for the finals.
Also remember the fact that Japan beat Korea in 2007 Asia Cup final to win the Gold, so Korea will be desperate to settle some scores today!

The current FIH ranking is as follows: 
China 3rd
Japan 6th
Korea 11th
India 14th.
 
By all means and calculations, the Asia Cup winner will be amongst the above 4 with China leading the front.
But who knows, what surprise 22nd ranked Malaysia may have for everyone.
 
So, watch out for these 2 crucial games today.

We will updating the scores as soon as possible.
