India vs South Korea Live Score, Hockey Asia Cup 2025 Super4s: IND takes on KOR; Preview; streaming info

A 15-0 demolition of Kazakhstan notwithstanding, the Indian men would be aware that the real challenge to their dreams of winning the hockey Asia Cup and qualifying for the World Cup begins on Wednesday.

India will take on defending champion Korea in its first Super 4s match, and regardless of the difference in current world rankings of the two sides – India is seventh to Korea’s 15th – the host would be aware of the pitfalls of taking its opponent either too seriously or too lightly. 

The two teams have also had contrasting routes to the next stage of the competition. India had to fight hard for its first two wins before a breezy outing to top the pool while Korea’s results have been convincingly one-sided – whether in victory or defeat (to Malaysia).
