Two wins in as many as games on Day-1 of the tournament placed India at the top of the standings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India will next take on Japan on Wednesday with the much-awaited clash against the 2003 champions, Iran, scheduled on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Team India began the proceedings with a solid start against the hosts, Korea. Debutant Aslam Inamdar, who came in as a substitute for seasoned raider Naveen Kumar, scored a super 10 as India went on to win the match 76-13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The visitors scored nine straight points before Korea opened their account and led the contest by 40-4 at the end of the first half.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India continued the momentum in the second half, but the Koreans pushed themselves in the initial minutes, but it was no match against India&rsquo;s clinical all-round as the defending champions sealed a massive 76-13 win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India inflicted the hosts with five all-outs in the match. Surjeet Narwal was impressive in defence and scored seven tackle points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The defending champions had a watchful start when they faced a slightly stronger challenge in their second match of the day against Chinese Taipei. Led by Sachin&rsquo;s all-round show, India won the match 53-19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taipei raiders and defenders seemed quite effective against the Indian team. They were trailing by three points in the first quarter before India skipper Pawan Sehrawat, inflicted an all-out in the 12th minute, extending India&#39;s lead to 14-6. The scores read 21-12 in India&rsquo;s favour at half-time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Scorecard<\/a><\/p><p>Taipei&#39;s defence appeared impressive at the beginning of the second half, but the experienced Indian side kept the scoreboard ticking.
