As in their round-robin game, India captain Harmanpreet Singh drag-flicked one into the goal early in the game give his side a 1-0 lead.
Singh Shamsher scored in the 18th minute and Nilakanta Sharma found the back of the net a few minutes later to make the score 3-0.
With only a few minutes remaining in the half India broke through twice more through Gursahibjit Singh and Mandeep Singh to make it 5-0.
The half finally came to an end after a heat break and five India goals.
The second half resulted in little action from either side.
