India put up a much better performance for a convincing 5-0 victory over Malaysia in its second outing at the Jharkand Women’s Asian Champions Trophy hockey here on Saturday.
Even though penalty corner conversions continued to be a drag on the team’s overall performance, the Indian side was far more cohesive and sharp in the field than on Friday and it showed in the body language as well.
The Indians were confident, the trapping was clean and there was more purpose to the attack, all brought together by the brilliance of player-of-the-match Vandana Katariya who struck two goals of her own and created the space and opportunities for more.
