The Indian team hardly had to break sweat even once
India's dominant run in the competition certainly raises the question if anyone can come close to challenging them in the near future, such was the manner of the victories. Korea, who upset India at the 2016 World Cup, were absolutely no match for India in the semifinal, which ended 45-29.

Pakistan, who defeated the might Iran in the semis, played two matches against their arch-rivals but not even once did they come close to troubling the Indian side.
The Asian Championships do highlight the gulf in class that still exists between India and the rest of the world and no team in all probability will come close to matching them anytime soon.
