The Indian team, led by captain Salima Tete, displayed a dominant performance, scoring goals in the 44th and 48th minutes through Ishika Chaudhary and Salima Tete respectively. This win puts India in the final where they will face defending champions China.
If successful, India will become only the second team from India to win a hockey gold at the Asian Games, following their victory in the 1982 New Delhi Games.
