Indian women's hockey team has qualified for the 2022 FIH World Cup after registering a 9-1 win over Singapore in the Asia Cup hockey tournament in Muscat.


Gurjit Kaur slammed a hat-trick while Monika and Jyoti scored a brace each as defending champions registered their second win in Pool A and qualified for the semifinals of the Asia Cup.


After drubbing Malaysia 9-0 in their opener, the Indians slumped to an unexpected 2-0 loss against pool toppers Japan.

But the Indians put their last match defeat behind and dished out a much-coordinated display against a lowly Singapore.


In the semis, India will lock horns with Korea in the first semifinal on Wednesday, while Japan will take on China in the other last four-game.


The final of the Women's Asia Cup hockey will be played on Thursday.
