Salima Tete’s India continued its uninterrupted victory run in the Bihar Women’s Champions Trophy today also, winning its fifth encounter rather comfortably. Japan put up a fight only in the first half before succumbing to Indian strike power in the next. India took over the second half with all round domination. Brilliance of Navneet Kaur set the goal rolling. She managed to effect strong forehand amidst a maze of legs and sticks to score and then Deepika, who has certainly emerged as the real ‘Gudia’ — the mascot name — with addition of a brace through penalty corner conversion.

As you exit from airport, nothing is visible as a structure of new airport under construction, hides everything. Took an auto to reach what is locally known as ‘Zero Mile’ to get private bus to Rajgir, destination of Asian Women’s Champions Trophy. The 17 km travel runs parallel to new metro under construction. It took 40 minutes to reach and it took hardly a minute to board a connecting bus to Rajgir. Even in Airport and at major road junctions I could see posters of WACT.
