Indumathi Kathiresan made it 6-0 to the Malabarians in the 35th minute. The Indian international combined well with Sabitra at the edge of Mata Rukm's penalty box before placing it nicely into the top corner from close range.Indumathi scored her second and Gokulam's seventh of the match minutes before the half-time whistle. Sabitra had to wait until the 68th minute to complete her third hat-trick of the competition after a brilliant link-up play with Kashmina and Soniya Jose at the edge of the penalty box.Dangmei and Sabitra's combination on the ball was wreaking havoc on Mata Rukm's defence.
