As Indian girls readies themselves for the big day, captain Rani Rampal says that her team won’t be complacent tomorrow in the Asia Cup final.

“Yes, we beat China in the league, but that is past. Same China beat South Korea in the semis. We don’t know how better they will be tomorrow. Whoever the team, we are playing final, we have to play well to win the Cu. Therefore, we need to be cautious, and we are, ” Rani said confidently.

Rani must know this as she was part of Bangkok Asia Cup team, which lost the final to China on today’s reverse score.

Recollecting that match she said, “They were world number two then, far better side.”

“Final hai kuchh bhi ho sakta hai. Every team wants to win. Having done well so far we will do our best,’ Rani, who will be playing her third Asia cup, second final at that, asserted.

“We need to play acchi (good) hockey if we want to win the Cup”.

“We need to cut out our silly mistakes such as we committed against Japan. We will try to play good hockey so that we get good result in the final”.

“We are aware. We won’t be complacent,” the last year’s Arnuna awardee, said
