Bangladesh succumbed to their third defeat in the AHF Cup U-21 Women’s Hockey Qualifiers when they lost 6-0 to Uzbekistan in Singapore Saturday.

Uzbekistan, one of the tournament favorites, doubled their lead in the 15th minute before adding two more goals in the 17th and 30th minute.
The physically superior Uzbekistan side completed the rout in the third and fourth quarter by netting two more.
