Unbeaten so far in the tournament, a confident India team is expected to steamroll lower-ranked Korea and seal the semi-final spot in the Junior Women Hockey World Cup, here on Friday.

The Indians finished on top of Pool D with maximum nine points from three victories. After humbling Wales (5-1), Germany (2-1) and Malaysia (4-0), India go into the quarter-finals with a superior 11-2 record.

On the contrary, with just three points in their kitty, Korea finished second in Pool C on account of a better goal difference.
