KARACHI, Dec 14: After getting on to a good start by edging past Thailand 2-1 on Saturday, Pakistan lost their second match to Japan by an unbelievable 17-0 margin in Junior Women Asia Cup at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

According to the information received here, the half time score was 3-0 in favour of Japan.
