The Indian women's basketball team saw their quarterfinal dreams come to an end in the Asian Games on Monday, suffering a 57-96 defeat at the hands of North Korea. The Indian team struggled throughout the match, with North Korea dominating in all four quarters, which ended 20-26, 6-26, 17-22, and 14-22, respectively, at the Shaoxing Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium. Despite a promising start in the first quarter, the Indian players were outclassed in the subsequent three quarters. Earlier in the tournament, India secured a second-place finish in Group A by defeating Indonesia 66-46 and Mongolia 68-62, but they faced a formidable challenge against defending champions China and lost 53-111.
