After two totally one-sided contests against Indonesia and Hong Kong, defending champions India are likely to face some resistance in their hockey league match against Japan here today.
India thrashed Indonesia 17-0 in their opener to improve on their previous Asian Games best of 12-0. Then, the former world champions mauled Hong Kong 26-0 to erase an 86-year-old record of 24-1, achieved against USA in the 1932 Olympics.
