Dicke now leads the scoring charts with 13 goals, which included an incredible 11 field goals. Her Dutch team-mate Luna is second (11 goals) and India's Mumtaz Khan (6) is third.

The India vs Netherlands match featured the top four scorers in the tournament, with Noor Omrani only losing the fourth spot to Germany's Verena Neumann later in the day.
