With their title defence off to a rousing start, five-time champions India, led by Harmanpreet Singh, will look to continue their winning juggernaut when they take on an unfamiliar and youthful China in their second round-robin match at the Asian Champions Trophy here on Thursday.

“This Chinese team is unknown to us. They are a completely new group; not the one that played at the Asian Games. We don’t know much about them and will have to analyse video footage of their match to get a fair idea of how they play,” coach Craig Fulton said.
