Anita Kumari scored a long ranger scorcher in the 56th minute and Serto's fifth in the 61st, which also completed her hat-trick, ended Nepal's run in the championship.

Sadipa Bholan scored a consolation for Nepal in the 79th minute after a howler by Indian goalkeeper. Nepal had to win today's game by a big margin to have any hopes of claiming the championship.
