India completed the women’s hockey Pool B programme at the Aichi–Nagoya 2026 Asian Games with a 7–0 win over Singapore on 27 September in Kakamigahara, Japan. The official Hockey India match report records the match as complete and India’s fifth win from five; Sportstar’s independent match report confirms the final score, venue town and status.

Captain Salima Tete opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Sunelita Toppo added two goals, in the 22nd and 24th minutes, while Lalremsiami, Rutuja Dadaso Pisal, Nikki Pradhan and Deepika completed the scoring at 26, 29, 35 and 55 minutes respectively. Hockey India and PTI’s match report via NDTV Sport agree on each scorer and minute. India scored five times in the second quarter after a goalless first, then added one goal in each of the final two quarters.

The result completed Pool B rather than extending a live run. India finished as group leaders with five wins from five, and their semi-final place was confirmed. Singapore ended the pool stage with this completed defeat. The Olympics.com competition results and standings provide a separate event-level cross-check of the 7–0 score, all women’s final pool results and the qualified semi-finalists.

India will meet South Korea in the 30 September semi-final; China play Japan in the other tie. The pairing was fixed within the reporting window and is confirmed in both the official Hockey India report and Sportstar’s independent report. It is a future fixture, not a result: no semi-final outcome is included here. The Asian Games women’s hockey pool stage finished on 27 September, with no medal awarded in this reporting window.
