Asian Games hockey: India women swamp Singapore 7-0 despite hiccups

Despite a sluggish start and unpolished execution in the circle, the Indian women's hockey squad secured a 7-0 victory against Singapore in their final Pool B fixture. Captain Salima Tete initiated the scoring in the second quarter, followed by goals from Sunelita Toppo, Lalremsiami, Rutuja Pisal, Nikki Pradhan, and Deepika Sehrawat to seal the group-stage win at Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium.

The team now advances to the semi-finals of the Asian Games to face South Korea, having previously earned victories over Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan. While the attack lacked its usual sharpness against Singapore's determined defense, the squad managed to maintain their unbeaten group standing ahead of the medal rounds.
