Nagoya, Japan, 25 Sept - Bangladesh earned their first point in women's hockey at the Asian Games after battling Kazakhstan to a 3-3 draw in their Pool A match here on Friday.
Bangladesh took an early lead through Irin, who converted a penalty corner in the second minute, and held the advantage through the opening quarter. Kazakhstan levelled in the second quarter before scoring twice in the third to take a 3-1 lead.
Bangladesh fought back as Kona Akter pulled one goal back before Arpita Paul converted a penalty corner in the 47th minute to secure a point for the Bangladesh side. Bangladesh earlier lost to China, South Korea and Malaysia in their first three matches.
