In the other match of the group, hosts Tripura brought joy to the local fans with an emphatic 5-0 win over Chandigarh.
Tripura opened the scoring through Mausami Urang in the 10th minute, who again found the mark in the 28th minute to give her team a 2-0 lead at half time. Three more goals came in the second session from Marina Jamatia, substitute Shriya Deb and Usham Luxmi Devi.
