India U18 women's team win 4-1 against Australia

The Indian U18 women's hockey team produced a dominant display to defeat Australia 4-1 in the fourth and final match of the series here on Wednesday.

Australia took the lead early in the first quarter through Aurora Kovacevich (8'), putting the visitors ahead. India, however, responded quickly with captain Sweety Kujur (13') scoring the equaliser before the end of the opening quarter.
The hosts continued their momentum in the second quarter and took the lead when Diya (25') found the back of the net to give India a 2-1 advantage heading into halftime.
India maintained control in the second half and extended their lead in the third quarter through Priyanka Minz (44'). Nausheen Naz (50') then added another goal in the final quarter to cap off a dominant win for the hosts. The victory marked a strong finish for the Indian team in a hard-fought series, preparing them well for the U18 Asia Cup beginning later this month in Japan.
