Deepika stars with solitary goal, India retain women's ACT hockey title with win over China
RAJGIR: Young striker Deepika turned out to be the star once again with a fine reverse hit goal as India retained their women's Asian Champions Trophy title after edging past Olympic silver medallist China 1-0 in a pulsating final here Wednesday. Deepika scored the winner for India from a penalty corner in the 31st minute to finish as the tournament's highest goal getter with 11 strikes. India had earlier stunned China 3-0 in the league stages of the tournament. It was India's third ACT title after winning the top honours in 2016 and 2023. The Indian team is now the most successful side in the tournament's history along side South Korea with three titles each. China, on the other hand, will have to settle for their third runner-up finish. Japan finished third on the podium after defeating Malaysia 4-1 in the third-fourth-place classification match earlier in the day. It was neck and neck fight between the two sides throughout the contest. Both India and China made many promising circle penetrations but the backline of both sides was rock solid in the first two quarters. The 17-year-old Sunelita Toppo was brilliant with her dribbling skills and defence-splitting runs from both flanks for India. Three minutes into the second quarter, China secured the first penalty corner of the match but India's second goalkeeper Bichu Devi Kharibam made a terrific diving save to keep out Jinzhuang Tan. In the next two minutes the Indians earned as many as four penalty corners but as has been case in the tournament so far, they failed to utilise a single with Deepika taking most of the chances. Deepika celebrates after scoring a goal for India Penalty corner conversion has been a concern for India in the tournament as in the semifinal against Japan they managed 13 set pieces, but failed to find the net even once. In the 23rd minute, it was India's turn to concede another penalty corner but the first rusher defended bravely to deny the Chinese. Minutes later, skipper Salima Tete created a fine ball for Sharmila Devi whose first time hit to the near post went wide as the deadlock continued at half-time. India kept up the pressure on the Chinese defence and secured their fifth penalty corner with the first move after the change of ends. Deepika this time finally found the net with a reverse hit after building on from a miss-trap push. In the 42nd minute Deepika had a bright chance to increase her tally when she earned a penalty stroke for a deliberate push inside the circle. But Chinese goalkeeper Li Ting pulled off a stunning reflex save to deny the star Indian striker. Minutes later, Ting once again came to China's rescue as she saved Sushila Chanu's shot from India's sixth penalty corner. Trailing by just a solitary goal, the Chinese employed high-press hockey thereafter and also managed to breach inside the Indian circle on a few occasions but the home team's defence didn't break.

India in Women's ACT final but Japanese goalkeeper steals the show
CHENNAI: Till the 47th minute of the semifinal between India and Japan at the women's Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament in Rajgir, India had tried everything to get past the Japanese goalkeeper, Yu Kudo. As many as 12 penalty corners were earned but India could not score a goal. The play was mostly inside the Japanese half as the Indian defense was hardly tested, but still, India had no goals to show. Skipper Salima Tete's attempt was derailed by Kudo, so were a few attempts by Navneet Kaur, Sangeeta Kumari and the tournament's highest goal-scorer, Deepika. In the second quarter, India had the opportunity to score a goal with three back-to-back penalty corners but failed to break the concentration of the Japanese goalkeeper. There came a time in the third quarter when Deepika had a chance to increase her goal tally of the tournament, but she shot wide to squander the opportunity. The crowd at the Rajgir Hockey Stadium had witnessed the goal fest earlier in the tournament and also a flurry of goals in the group stage match against Japan a few days ago, but Kudo's performance had them worried. In the 47th minute, India secured their 12th penalty corner of the day but the story remained the same. It felt like the only way the deadlock could have ended was either a penalty stroke or a penalty shootout. And that is what happened. In the very next move, Deepika was fouled in the circle and India were awarded a penalty stroke. Japan tried to review the on-field umpire's decision but it did not help their cause. By then, Kudo was tested enough and here again she was in the thick of things. This time Navneet made no mistake as she finally broke the deadlock. The full house in Rajgir erupted to acknowledge the efforts. That goal rejuvenated the Indian group. There were a few smiles in the camp. Coach Harendra Singh looked a bit more relaxed. Even though India could not convert yet another penalty corner, that did not stop them from targetting Japan's defence. The frequent attacks paid dividends as Sunelita Toppo cruised past two defenders to cut the ball back to Lalremsiami, who had no problem finding the back of the net and just like that India doubled their lead. Japan could not come back from there despite getting a penalty corner as India eventually booked their ticket to the final yet again. Kudo was awarded the Player of the Match award and rightfully so. On the day when India had possession for more than half of the time and 13 penalty corners, it was Japan's goalkeeper who stole the show. However, India still has one last challenge to go, that to against Olympic silver medallist China. And if their progression throughout this tournament is any indication, the spectators have another great battle brewing in Bihar.

Women's Asian Champions Trophy: India beat Japan 2-0, to face China in final
RAJGIR: Defending champions India continued their unbeaten run and defeated Japan 2-0 to enter the final of the women's Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament here on Tuesday. Vice-captain Navneet Kaur converted a penalty stroke in the 48th minute while Lalaremsiami struck from field play in the 56th minute for India, who had plenty of scoring chances including 13 penalty corners. India will face China, whom they defeated in the league stages, in the final on Wednesday. Earlier, China beat Malaysia 3-1 in the first semifinal. Malaysia will take on Japan in the third-fourth place match, while Korea finished fifth after beating Thailand 3-0 in the fifth-sixth place classification match. The Indians continued their attacking game and put on early pressure on the Japanese defence, just like the last league game. The play was mostly inside the Japanese half as the Indian defence was hardly tested. India had the first shot at the goal inside the initial five minute. Skipper Salima Tete's attempt was thwarted by Japanse goalkeeper Yu Kudo. The Indians repeatedly penetrated the Japanese citadel and in the process secured two penalty corners in a span of two minutes but Kudo was alert under the bar to deny Navneet Kaur and Deepika. Three minutes into the second quarter, India secured three back-to-back penalty corners but failed to find the back of the net. India's Preeti Dubey dribbles during the Women's Asian Champions Trophy 2024 semifinal hockey match It was raining penalty corners for the hosts as they got back-to-back set pieces in the 21st minute but Kudo produced a brilliant save with her fully-stretched right leg to deny Deepika again. In the 24th minute, India earned a penalty corner followed by another in the next minute but failed to get past Japanese goalkeeper Kudo, as they also lacked in execution. A minute after the change of ends, India secured two penalty corners but wasted both. In the 35th minute, Kodu again denied Deepika from a set piece. In the 41st minute, Deepika stole the ball just outside the Japanese circle, but shot wide from a one-on-one situation with Kudo. Seconds from the end of third quarter, Kudo once again pulled off a brilliant save to deny Udita from another penalty corner. In the 47th minute, India secured their 12th penalty corner but failed to breach Kudo. But a minute later, India broke the deadlock through a penalty stroke earned by Deepika and Navneet made no mistake. The goal seemed to have rejuvenated the Indians as they scored a fine field goal in the 56th minute. Lalremsiami slammed into the back of the Japanese goal after she was brilliantly set up by Sunelita Toppo's terrific run from the right flank. Japan got a penalty corner in the dying moments but failed to get past a rock-solid Indian defence.

If Deepika keeps growing she can be a lethal striker: Coach Singh
CHENNAI: In the women's Asian Champions Trophy's group stage, India have been not just dominant, but they have been able to find the out of any tricky situations. Whether it was dominating against Malaysia in the opener or sneaking the goal to break the deadlock against South Korea, India kept finding ways to score goals. Even when they faced the Paris Olympic silver medallists, China, Salima Tete's team came on top. However, now they have to keep all of that behind them when they face Japan in the semi-final in Rajgir. Pool games are completely different than knockouts so everyone prepares in the best way possible. We are definitely going to face some restrictions from the Japanese team, India's chief coach Harendra Singh told the media before the knockout game. They are a good side, but we have to do our homework on how we want to exploit our chances and how we want to play. So far, girls have executed well how we wanted them to grow individually and take the challenge. The semi-finals will be a different ball game, he added. Singh, who took over the women's team in April after the resignation of Janneke Schopman following India's failure to qualify for the 2024 Olympics, praised the group for being on the right path. Are we entering the circle the way we want to? Yes, we are. I am happy with the way we are planning and entering. The next question is are we getting enough shots on the goal? Yes. When it comes to finishing, We are scoring good goals. I would say they have scored a few amazing goals in the tournament. There is still room for improvement and it comes from experience. So far our plans are working, the 55-year-old said. In this tournament, with her ten goals, Deepika has been the star of the show for India. One of the youngsters on the team has taken to the new approach by the coach like a fish to the water. Deepika, she is just 21. The way she is playing, the kind of skill and mentality she has, and if she keeps growing she can be a lethal striker. I am working on her drag flick. I am not going to put a lot of pressure on her. She should play her natural game. If she continues to do that she can always deliver the result. After the Pro League, I had a one-on-one meeting with her. I told her I was going to make her one of the leather strikers, but you have to work hard on that. I think Bihar has adopted all 20 players of the team, not just Deepika. When their names are announced before the match, we hear a lot of chants. The vibes in the hockey stadium are amazing, the coach could not help but praise the number of fans showing up for women's hockey in Bihar. Even though Deepika has scored the most goals for the team, the likes of Tete, Navneet and Sangita have also stepped up when needed. That has reduced the pressure on any one particular player to score, liberating everyone to play their best game. Singh explained the thinking that went behind the scenes and also emphasised that there is still scope for improvement in this team. If we analyse this team, whether it is Navneet, Sunelita Toppo, or captain Salima Tete, they used to be strikers. I am playing them in midfield now. They have that skill and know how to create those chances. That is why the team is looking more attacking these days. Even if you change a player's position, if you have the same mindset of scoring goals, it works. We don't want to rely on one player because it puts a lot of pressure on that one individual. We need a player for the position, it doesn't matter who that player is. One needs to take that responsibility. We need to have backup plans as well as the capacity to make individual decisions on the go when needed, the coach mentioned. Since he took over, Singh has made sure the fitness levels of all of the players are up to the mark. He believes that goal (fitness) has changed the way his team has looked in the last couple of days. If you are fit, you are fresh. Your oxygen intake is very high and with that fatigue factor is reduced. If you have enough oxygen, you are able to make better decisions. We addressed this issue of fitness and since then their decision-making has been better. I think we are on the right path and making some progress. India have seen multiple standout individual performances in this tournament. Japan, the team they defeated a few days ago to remain unbeaten in the group stage, is standing between them and the spot in the final. At Rajgir, in the middle of thousands of adoring and vocal fans, they have to tackle the Japanese challenge one more time.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: PCB Alleges BCCI is Influencing Other Cricket Boards to Oppose Event
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has recently accused the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of attempting to sway other cricketing nations to oppose the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. According to a report by AnandaBazaar, the BCCI has allegedly promised increased bilateral series with these countries if they agree to oppose the tournament being held in Pakistan. This claim suggests that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is not officially aware of these alleged dealings. The Champions Trophy is set to take place in February-March 2025, but the uncertainty around its location continues. Despite the speculation, the ICC recently released a promotional video for the event, implying Pakistan is still the intended host. Additionally, the trophy tour has already commenced in Pakistan, although it faced a brief delay. Controversy Surrounding the Trophy Tour The Champions Trophy preparations have hit a snag after the ICC decided to remove cities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) from the Trophy Tour. This move came in response to India's strong objection. The updated Trophy Tour now includes cities such as Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Abbottabad in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. The tour began in Islamabad, Pakistans capital, and will proceed to other cities, including Taxila and Khanpur (November 17), Abbottabad (November 18), Murree (November 19), and Nathia Gali (November 20), before concluding in Karachi from November 22 to 25. These locations are known for their tourist appeal. Initially, the PCB had planned to include cities like Skardu, Hunza, and Muzaffarabadregions located in the disputed PoK territorywhen it first announced the tour on November 14.

Women's Asian Champions Trophy: Deepika stars again as India cruise to semis with 3-0 win over Japan
RAJGIR: Defending champions India stormed into the semifinals of the Women's Asian Champions Trophy with an unbeaten record, defeating Japan 3-0 here on Sunday. Continuing her stellar form, star striker Deepika netted a quickfire brace from penalty corners in the final quarter to seal the victory, following vice-captain Navneet Kaur's opener in the 37th minute. With this win, India topped the league stage with a maximum of 15 points from five matches, ahead of Olympic silver medallists China (12 points). India will take on fourth-placed Japan in the semifinal on Tuesday, while China will play third-placed Malaysia in the other last-four game. Deepika, the tournament's leading scorer, now boasts 10 goals, including four field goals, five penalty corners, and one penalty stroke, underscoring her dominance. In the day's other matches, Malaysia beat Thailand 2-0, while China defeated South Korea by an identical margin. The Indians secured their first scoring chance in the form of back-to-back penalty corners in the eighth minute but Deepika's flick from the second effort was brilliantly saved by Japanese goalkeeper Yu Kudo. India earned another penalty corner in the 13th minute but yet again wasted the chance. The Indians continued to dominate and secured their fourth penalty corner in the 25th minute but once again Kudo rose to the occasion and made three brilliant saves to deny the hosts. A minute after the change of ends, Kudo again came to Japan's rescue to deny Deepika.India eventually broke the deadlock in the 37th minute through Navneet's brilliant reverse hit to the second post. Deepika's brilliance The Indians continued their domination and earned three back-to-back penalty corrners in the 47th minute and star dragflicker Deepika finally found the back of the net with a powerful low dragflick to open her account. A minute later, the Indians secured another set piece and this time too Deepika struck again with a powerful flick into the top right corner, effectively sealing the match. Credit must also go to the Indian defence, led brilliantly by Udita and Sushila Chanu, as they didn't let the Japanese take a single shot at the Indian goal. Skipper Salima Tete, Neha and Sharmila Devi too were brilliant in the midfield, creating numerous chances for the forwardline with their runs and neat dribbling skills.
