Malaysia began their campaign in the FIH Women's Hockey World League Round 2 with a 8-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan 8-0 in the inaugural match here today.

Eight different players scored for Malaysia who completely dominated the match at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here.

The first quarter of the match saw Malaysia and Kazakhstan in an attacking mode as both the sides tried to score the first goal.
 

Captain Siti Ruhani did not make any mistake while firing a penalty stroke in the seventh minute before Nurul Mansur found the target in the 10th minute through a field effort.

In the second quarter, Malaysian eves penetrated in their opponents' striking circle more frequently. Siti Othman successfully converted a penalty corner in the 28th minute and with just a minute left to end the second quarter, Fatin Mahd Sukri fired in a field goal.

Malaysia continued their domination in the third quarter and Fazilla Sylvester Silin scored a beautifully crafted field goal in the 33rd minute and Norbaini Hashim added the sixth one in the 37th minute.

Surizan Noh pumped in the seventh goal in the 53rd minute of the game before Hanis Onn completed the route with a goal with only a minute left for the final hooter.
