The Malaysian women’s hockey team continued
their clinical ways, clobbering Thailand 8-0 to set up a final date with Kazakhstan
in the Women’s Hockey World League Round 1 Tournament being played in
Singapore. The 21st ranked Malaysians rode roughshod over 53rd
ranked Thailand and led 4-0 at half-time and will clash with 33rd
ranked Kazakhstan in Thursday’s final.
Kazakhstan were equally impressive in
their 5-1 win over 48th ranked Singapore, thus putting an end to the
hopes of the hosts of progressing further in the tournament.
Kazakhstan will be in for a tough fight
against the Malaysians, who had hammered Singapore and Sri Lanka by 10-0 and
14-0 margins. Kazakhstan eves had beaten Myanmar 2-0, Hong Kong 9-0 and Thailand
2-0 in the league phase.
As many as seven teams are taking part
in the six-day event.
