Goalkeeper Savita produced a stunning save in a tense shootout as India won the Asia Cup to secure qualification in next year's hockey World Cup following a nerve-wracking win over China in the final here on Sunday.

The team broke a 13-year-old jinx when skipper Rani scored the final goal and Savita foiled an attempt from the rivals to ensure 5-4 win.

India had failed to qualify for the last World Cup and and finished ninth in the 2010 edition.

Rani scored twice while Monica, Lilima Minz and Navjot scored a goal each in the shootout.

Earlier, it was Navjot Kaur who scored India's lone goal in the 25th minute while China found a late equaliser through Tiantian Luo, who converted a penalty corner in the 47 th Minutes.

It was in 2004 when the Indian women's team had clinched the Asia Cup trophy by beating Japan 1-0.

That's not a surprise, India used to be the best in the world at hockey before the Netherlands stole the show. But they still win at the Commonwealth Games every year. They had a great games at Delhi, and at Glasgow too.
