The Indian women's hockey team dazzled in their second consecutive win at the Jharkhand Women's Asian Champions Trophy, triumphing 5-0 against Malaysia. In a thrilling game, Vandana Katariya netted twice (7', 21'), while Sangita Kumari (28'), Lalremsiami (28'), and Jyoti (38') also joined the goal-scoring party.
Right from the opening minute, India unleashed a relentless attack, while their sturdy defence stymied Malaysia's circle ambitions. A well-executed penalty corner provided Vandana Katariya with her first goal (7'), and a spectacular save by Malaysia's keeper thwarted another opportunity. The second quarter witnessed more Indian pressure, resulting in Katariya's second goal (21').
In the 27th minute, Lalremsiami set up Sangita Kumari for India's third goal (28'). Shortly after, Salima Tete's assist allowed Lalremsiami to strike again (28'), securing India's fourth goal. The third quarter saw India maintain control, repelling Malaysia's efforts.
Navneet Kaur came close to scoring, but India's fifth goal came from brilliant teamwork. Vandana Katariya found Jyoti (38') for a well-deserved goal. The final quarter passed without any further scoring, with India securing a convincing 5-0 win. India is now set to face China in their next match on October 30.
