In football, a double strike from substitute Pyari Xaxa helped a dominant Indian women's team beat Malaysia 2-0 in an international friendly match in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. After a barren first half, Pyari scored in the 79th and the 86th minutes of the match played at the MP Selayang Stadium. India's dominance was complete throughout the match, except for a brief spell in the second half. Malaysia did not have much to boast about in the match.
