Unlike the matches earlier in the tournament, Japan haven't allowed India to dominate end-to-end. They have kept the women in orange in check for most part, though Salima Tete and co have managed to open up a two-goal lead at half-time.
They have not been as convincing as they would have liked inside the circle and Sjoerd Marijne should be ready with his words.
Lalremsiami scored from open play early in the first quarter, before Ishika pounced on a Navneet Kaur drag flick late in the second for India.
