    India vs Japan Team News

    A positive result against eighth-ranked Japan is now vital. A second consecutive defeat would leave India needing a significant victory in their final group match against Chinese Taipei to have any realistic chance of advancing to the knockout stages and continuing their pursuit of a spot at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.

    Historically, Japan has heavily dominated this fixture, maintaining an unbeaten record against India. The Indian defence, marshalled by captain Sweety Devi, will need to be at its absolute best to contain Japan’s highly technical attackers, including Momoko Tanikawa and Kiko Seike. At the other end, India will rely on the pace and experience of forwards like Grace Dangmei and Manisha Kalyan to exploit any counter-attacking opportunities.
