India U19 Women Thrash Malaysia 11-1 To Strengthen AHF Junior Asia Cup Lead
AHF Junior Asia Cup: India's junior women made it two wins from two at the AHF Junior Asia Cup 2026, overwhelming Malaysia 11-1 in their second Elite Pool fixture on Sunday to underline their status as defending champions.
After a 4-1 victory over South Korea in their opening match, India produced a far more fluent display against Malaysia. Their attack clicked from the outset, with seven players contributing to the scoresheet as the defending champions combined field goals with an impressive return from set pieces.
India needed just a minute to take control, with Puja Sahoo converting a penalty stroke. Purnima Yadav doubled the lead in the fourth minute before Binima Dhan added another from a penalty corner in the eighth.
