Hangzhou, Sep 30 (PTI) The Indian women’s handball team ended its campaign on a positive note after beating lower-ranked Nepal in their last match at the Asian Games here on Saturday.

India finished at the fifth spot.

India dished out a clinical performance to outwit Nepal 44-19 in a Group B match at the Zhejiang Normal University Xiaoshan Gymnasium.

India’s Nidhi Sharma scored maximum 11 goals with an impressive strike rate of 84.61, helping her side to a comfortable victory.
