Hat-trick for Jyotu from Delhi! And a brace for the captain Dipika. That's some serious firepower in Division B. Delhi team is on a roll.

While the wins are exciting, I hope the focus remains on development for all states. A 9-0 scoreline suggests a big gap in resources and training between teams, which needs addressing.
