Bangkok (3 Oct, 2016): Pakistan overpowered Cambodia 11-0 and in the process catapulted to the top of Group B in the 4th Women Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) Cup in Bangkok today.

The Pakistanis, who are competing in their first international tournament after three years, led 4-0 in the first half and waltzed past the Cambodians with seven more goals after the interval which greatly helped their cause in qualifying for the October 8 semi-finals.

Sabir Mayira knocked home four field goals (44th, 52rd and 53rd) and the fifth via a penalty corner just one minute to the hooter. She was ably supported by Ishrat Abbas’ field goals brace (8th, 35th).

The other scorers are Afshan Noureen (11th), Hina Pervaiz (18th), team captain Hina Kanwal (25th) and Kalsoom Shehzadi  made it a memorable day for Pakistan who were held to a 1-1 draw by Hong Kong on Sunday.
