ASIA CUP: Unbeaten India look to carry on momentum vs S Korea in Super 4s

- RAJGIR:

RAJGIR: Buoyed by an unbeaten pool campaign, a confident and determined Indian men's hockey team will need to lift its game a notch against holders and five-time champions South Korea when the two sides clash in their first Super 4 stage match of the Asia Cup here on Wednesday.

The Indians finished Pool A engagements with an all-win record, beating China 4-3, Japan 3-2 before demolishing minnows Kazakhstan 15-0 on Monday.

But the results hardly speak of the way India had started the campaign, scraping past China and Japan before the swashbuckling win over Kazakhstan, who were in the tournament for just the second time ever.

But India can take solace from the big win after two scratchy games.
