It might have been just a mere formality, but India had to wait longer than they had hoped to know whether they would be playing against China in the title clash of the Women’s Asia Cup. Playing the first of the two Super 4s matches on Saturday, India controlled the flow for large parts against Japan, but came undone by a late equaliser and could only manage a 1-1 draw, meaning they were dependent on the result of China vs Korea. As hard as Korea tried, China came through with a 1-0 win and kept their perfect tournament record intact. And so it will be India vs China in the final on Sunday in Hangzhou.
