Navneet Kaur was unstoppable and scored a memorable hattrick. India will now look to carry the good form ahead in the tournament when they face mighty China. For now, it's goodbye from us. A reminder of the final score. INDIA 4 - JAPAN 1
...
Aki Yamada scored a goal for Japan but it was India all the way in their first encounter of the Asian Champions Trophy. The defending champions dominated the Japanese from the opening whistle and displayed great speed and skill. The defence was solid as well. Joy for the Indian girls! Joy for Sjoerd Marijne! India could easily have scored a couple of more goals, such was their class today.

32' India into the attack yet again. PC for India as ball hits a Japanese foot. 
...
India scored a peach of a goal with Vandana weaving her way through the Japanese defence and almost toying with the Japanese defenders before directing a pass to Navneet who took her time to take the shot but still beat the Japanese goalie.
...
The rain is pelting down in Donghae. Can India continue to play fast and attacking hockey on a wet pitch?
...
Unlike in the Commonwealth Games where the Indians girls started slowly and took their time to settle in, they attacked from the opening minute today and displayed great intent. The Indian strikers created several chances and the defence has held firm. Overall, some great hockey on display by the Indians but they have another half to go and will need to keep the momentum up.
