Saba Anjum shone once again as India registered a convincing 4-1 victory over Canada in their second league match in the Women’s Junior World Cup hockey tournament in Santiago, Chile.
Anjum struck twice in the 17th and 26th minutes after forwards Jasjeet Kaur Handa (4th) and Sarita Lakra (6th) scored first two goals. Canada were able to reduce the margin through Karen Mann’s conversion in 69th minute.
With two goals in the first six minutes, Indian girls brought the Canadians under pressure and then Saba scored midway through the first half as India went into the break 4-0 after taking a complete control over the match.
At the change of ends, Canada held India for entire second session and finally managed a goal through Karen in the second last minute.
Indian girls, who drew their first match against South Africa, however, will keep their fingers crossed for the next pool B match against Germany, the second best team here.
