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.
