Kakamigahara (Japan), June 5

India came from behind to register a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Malaysia as they continued their winning momentum in the women’s Junior Asia Cup hockey tournament here today.

Mumtaz Khan (10th minute) and Deepika (26th) turned out to be the saviours for India after Malaysia took an early lead in the sixth minute through Dian Nazeri. The win meant India, who hammered Uzbekistan 22-0 in their tournament opener, remained on top of Pool A.

India will next play South Korea in their third pool match tomorrow. South Korea also have six points from two games but sit behind India due to inferior goal difference.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
