- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Winger Manisha Kalyan (12', 80') scored a brilliant brace, while Anju Tamang (58') and Lynda Kom Serto (86') added their names to the scoresheet in a one-sided contest that saw India dominate from start to finish at the 700th Anniversary Stadium. The Blue Tigresses led 1-0 at half-time.

With the win, India now sit atop Group B with six points from two games, ahead of Iraq and Thailand, who are set to face each other later in the day.

The top spot in the five-team group remains up for grabs, but India have certainly staked a strong claim with back-to-back dominant displays.

Fresh from the record-breaking 13-0 triumph over Mongolia in their opening fixture, India entered the match brimming with confidence.
