India finish strong with a commanding 4–0 win over Ireland, a performance that temporarily lifts them to the top of Pool C.

A double from Purnima Yadav (42’, 58’), along with a goal each from Kanika Siwach (12’) and Sakshi Rana (57’), sealed the dominant win for India.

India's fate now rests with the results of the remaining matches, as they wait to see whether this victory is enough to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

India goes 2-0 up to 4-0 up in a span of two minutes.

The left-hand side was left wide open by the Irish defence, and Sakshi Rana made them pay. She carried the ball in from the left and slipped it between the goalkeeper’s legs for a lovely finish. India score their third!

Just a minute later, Purnima Yadav (58') gets the fourth goal in, her second of the match. India now leads 4-0.

India gets another chance in the opening minute itself. This is their seventh of the match. India has converted only one so far. 

The ball goes wide. This was India's sixth penalty corner for India.

Just when it felt that the pace of the match has slowed down a bit, India's comes out with a penalty corner. Purnima Yadav send the ball home in 42nd minute. India extends lead to 2 goals.

India head into the break with a narrow 1 goal lead. The team created three penalty corner opportunities in the second quarter and consistently stretched the Irish defence with quick rotations and sharp passing.

Despite their dominance, India carry only a 1-0 advantage into halftime. They recorded 16 circle penetrations (7 of them in the second quarter alone). In response, Ireland managed only 2.

India leads 1-0.
