Chennai | A dominant India mauled reigning Asian champions Japan 5-0 to enter their fourth final of the Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium here on Friday.

While three-time champions India adopted a high-press hockey from the onset, Japan played deep into their defence to thwart the home team's attacks.

It was complete domination from the Indians as they found the back of the net five times through Akashdeep Singh (19th minute), skipper Harmanpreet Singh (23rd), Mandeep Singh (30th), Sumit (39th) and Karthi Selvam (51st).
