That's it from us here - this is Subhashish signing off! Join us at 1830 IST tomorrow when the Indian girls meet South Korea

THE DEFENDING CHAMPS MARCH AHEAD UNCHALLENGED - CAN SOUTH KOREA HALT THEIR WINNING RUN??? WE WILL FIND OUT ON SUNDAY!!

TWO GOALS HAVE BEEN SIMPLY SUPERB - A REVERSE SHOT FROM DILPREET - AND ANOTHER FROM AKASHDEEP - FROM A NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE!!!

THE ONLY AREA OF CONCERN, PERHAPS, WAS THAT THE INDIANS FAILED TO GET THE PC INJECTIONS AND STOPS RIGHT - HARENDRA AND CHRIS CIRIELLO WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE MADE A NOTE!

THE STATS LADIES AND GENTS - THE INDIANS HAD 23 SHOTS ON GOAL - 16 FROM OPEN PLAY - THEY SCORED 6 GOALS FROM OPEN PLAY - THE INDIANS EARNED 6 PCs - CONVERTED 1- THEY ALSO EARNED 1 PENALTY STROKE - RUPINDER SCORED

WELL, THE JAPANESE DID OFFER MORE RESISTANCE THAN THE INDOENESIANS - A LOT MORE THAN HONG KONG - SREEJESH WAS CALLED INTO ACTION TOO UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS MATCHES - BUT SIEGFRIED AIKMAN'S SIDE IS BLOWN AWAY HARENDRA SINGH'S BOYS!!!
