    Women’s Asian Champions Trophy: India Register 4-0 Victory Against Malaysia

    Asian Champions Trophy Rajgir: The Indian women’s hockey team kicked off its campaign in the Bihar Women's Asian Champions Trophy 2024 with a 4-0 victory against Malaysia in this historic city of Bihar on Monday. Sangita Kumari (8’, 55’), Preeti Dubey (43’), and Udita (44’) found the back of the net in the game that saw India create numerous chances and put on a solid defensive performance to walk away with three points.

    India were slow to start the game and Malaysia’s Nur Mohd was presented with the first opportunity to score after a clever run in behind the defence but Indian goalkeeper Savita was on hand to bail the team out and save them from early blushes. Malaysia earned a penalty corner soon after but the shot was deflected wide.

    Jolted into action, India wrestled back control over the ball and earned two penalty corners in quick succession. On the second occasion, after a fumbled stop, Deepika shot the ball towards the goal and Sangita Kumari was alert to slot the ball into goal from close range and make it 1-0 for India. India continued to press the Malaysian team and created two chances for Preeti Dubey to score but she was unable to convert. Captain Salima Tete earned a penalty corner with 10 seconds to go but India couldn’t capitalise.
