India vs China Hockey Live Updates Asian Champions Trophy: The Indian men's hockey team are back in action at the Asian Champions Trophy 2026 as they take on China in their second league stage match at the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar. India are the defending champions of this tournament, as they started off with a massive win over Bangladesh by a massive margin of 13-0. Mandeep Singh was the star of the show as they scored a hat-trick, while Harmanpreet Singh, Dilpreet Singh and Hardik Singh scored twice each. Shilanand Lakra, Abhishek, Nilakanta Sharma and Jugraj Singh scored a goal each. They will now look to maintain this momentum and make it two wins out of two.
Harmanpreet Singh scores again
India put in more distance between themselves and China as local boy Harmanpreet scores his second to the delight of the crowd to put the hosts 3-1 ahead. China cannot afford to give away such easy penalty corners to India, especially with a drag-flicket like Harmanpreet in their ranks
Close contest so far!!
It has been a pretty close contest between India and China. In fact, even though India lead, China have had the more shots on target.
India lead after first half
The first half draws to a close as it has been a pretty close match, with both India and China making quite a number of chances. However, the goals from Sukhjeet Singh and Harmanpreet Singh have made the difference as India lead 2-1. Will India increase their lead or will China come back into the game in the second half?
Harmanpreet Singh the man!!
The euphoria of equalizing does not last long for China. Harmanpreet Singh got the chance at goal from a third penalty corner of the day. He missed the first two chances, but showed why he is still the best drag flicker in the world, as he converts the penalty corner, just a minute after China score. India now lead 2-1.
China equalize
Clinical from China as they earn a penalty corner. Can they level the scores or will Krishan Bahadur Pathak save it for India? He can't as China level the score at 1-1! Yang Peng converts through the penalty corner.
Two penalty corners missed!!
Harmanpreet Kaur is generally the best in the world in taking penalty corners with an outstanding conversion rate, courtesy his famous drag flicks. India had two chances to double their lead courtesy two consecutive penalty corners, but in uncharacteristic fashion, the Indian captain managed to miss both chances.
China looking to score
In the first few minutes of the second quarter, China have looked the more attacking of the two sides. They have made constant circle entries, but the Indian defence have looked strong. In fact, China even had a penalty corner which they failed to convert.
End of first quarter
The first quarter of the India vs China match has come to a conclusion, and it is Sukhjeet Singh's goal that is making the difference for the men in saffron. India have a slender lead of 1-0 as they take the field in the second quarter.
GOAL for India!!
3D skills and Sukhjeet Singh gives India the opening goal! Scoop from Jugraj Singh from the half line, straight to the Indian striker who displayed fantastic 3D skills to put the ball past advancing goalkeeper Wu Huanyu to put India 1-0 ahead
China's defending well
China;s low blog has been pretty decent so far. India have benn good on the attack making multiple circle entries, but the Chinese defence has denied them multiple chances. Mandeep and Sukhjeet have had the best chances at goal, but none of them failed to convert. Can China hold on to this, or will India finally manage to break through?
Match Begins!!
India and China have begun their contest in their second league match of the Asian Champions Trophy 2026. Will the Indian side continue their goal fest, or can the Chinese side hold the Indian juggernaut?
Japan defeat Bangladesh!!
In the latest match of the Asian Champions Trophy, Japan narrowly defeated Bangladesh by a margin of 1-0. The victors now stand in second at the points table ahead of India. Harmanpreet Singh's men will now look to go past both Japan and Malaysia with a win.
When and where to watch match?

Malaysia sit top of points table
Earlier in the day, Malaysia beat South Korea 3-1 to top the points table with two wins from as many number of matches. India will be aiming to dethrone them after winning tonight.
When did India last lose to China?
The last time India lost to China was at the 2013 Asian Champions Trophy when they went down 0-2 in Kakamigahara, Japan. Since then India have won all seven matches between the two teams, claiming the last contest 7-0 at the 2025 Asia Cup in Rajgir
China look to bounce back
China on the other hand suffered a close 4-5 loss to Malaysia which was a commendable show. They will now look to bounce back. Can they trouble the defending champions and hosts this evening?
A solid start for India!!
