Defending champions India face South Korea in their last match of the Super 4s of Asia Cup hockey 2022 on Tuesday. While a win can help the Birendra Lakra-led side book a final match berth, a loss will mean that it would have to rely on the result of Japan vs Malaysia game that will be played on the same day but two and a half hours before.
To avoid any permutations and combinations, India will aim to win the match against South Korea and get an easy entry into the finale. Same is the case with South Korea, they also need a win to make a clean entry to the final.
