Diksha joshi

Francis De Sales Senior Secondary: A dominant display by Sanskriti School's girls' team, led by a spectacular six-goal performance by Amina Abdali, set the tone for Day 4 of the Oriental Cup 2025 at the Dr. Ambedkar Stadium here on Thursday.

The two-time defending champions, under Coach Keshav Chandra Duklan, cruised to a commanding 9–0 win over Tagore International School in their Group A fixture, putting one foot firmly in the final. Alongside Abdali’s brilliance, Diksha Joshi, Sreeparna Mitra, and Aditi Chamoli each added a goal to reinforce their team's title defense.

The day also saw crucial wins for DPS Vasant Kunj, DPS RK Puram, Navy Children School, and New Green Field School in the boys’ second-round knockout matches, as the tournament now transitions into the league phase for the top six boys’ teams.
