U18 Women’s Hockey Asia Cup: Nousheen Naz’s Brace Powers India To Winning Start
Hockey Asia Cup: The Indian team began its campaign at the U18 Women’s Hockey Asia Cup 2026 on a positive note, registering a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Malaysia in their opening Pool A encounter on Saturday.
Fifteen-year-old forward Nousheen Naz emerged as the star of the match, scoring both goals for India and earning the ‘Player of the Match’ award for her match-winning performance. Her clinical finishing helped India secure all three points in a closely contested fixture.
The opening quarter saw both sides testing each other’s defences, but neither team could find a breakthrough. India enjoyed greater possession and created several attacking opportunities, yet the Malaysian defence held firm to keep the scores level at the end of the first 15 minutes.
