  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - The Indian national junior women's hockey team inflicted a crushing 11-1 defeat on their Malaysian counterparts in the second Elite Group match of the Women's Junior Asia Cup held in Moqi, China. This heavy loss leaves coach Nasihin Nubli's squad in a precarious position, having already suffered a 6-1 drubbing from China earlier.\n\nIndia struck first with a rapid two-goal burst from Puja Sahoo and Purnima Yadav within the first four minutes. Binima Dhan added a third in the eighth minute, giving India a commanding lead. They continued to pile on the pressure, scoring another three goals before halftime, with Geeta Yadav extending the lead to 6-0 by the 28th minute.\n\nMalaysia managed to pull one back through a penalty corner from Nur Qaisara Qistina Mohd Khairi in the 38th minute. However, India responded swiftly with a flurry of four more goals, securing their victory. The scorers in the second half were Sahoo, Sanika Chandrakant Mane, and Geeta.\n\nMalaysia will face South Korea in their third group match the following day.",
