Reshma Rathod was a standout player, earning an impressive six touchpoints, while Meenu's outstanding performance earned her team an additional 12 points through Other Dives. By the end of Turn 2, Team India had eliminated a staggering 16 batches, bringing their score to an impressive 94-10.
The intensity continued in Turn 3, with the Women in Blue adding three more points through Dream Runs. Meanwhile, South Korea struggled to keep up, managing only eight points in the second innings of Turn 3. It was clear that India's dominance was not going to let up anytime soon.
The final Turn was a testament to Team India's unwavering control over the match. They never gave their opponents a chance to establish any rhythm, and the match ended with a resounding 175 points for India, leaving South Korea with a mere 18.
