Anushka Kumari Shines with Five Goals in India’s 14‑0 Rout

Anushka Kumari was the star of the night, netting five times as India rattled Iraq 14‑0. She scored once before the break and added two more in the second half, including a clinical finish from a tight cross delivered by Alva. Substitute Priyanka Berman also got on the scoresheet after rebounding a save from goalkeeper Asma Shivan Ahmed. The flood of goals came as the Indian defense stayed compact, limiting Iraq’s possession and forcing the visitors onto the back foot throughout the encounter.
