India handed Malaysia their first defeat of the tournament, extending their winning run to four matches. India made a bright start with Harmanpreet (3rd, 33rd, 58th min) opening the scoring minutes into the first quarter. India were awarded a penalty corner and the skipper unleashed his trademark drag-flick. Malaysia stepped up pressure in the second period, earning multiple penalty corners. Malaysia drew level through Akhimullah Anuar (25th), who scored following a penalty corner. The teams were 1-1 at halftime. India regained the lead early in the third quarter and it was Harmanpreet who again struck, converting a penalty corner with another drag-flick to make it 2-1. India made it 3-1 when forward Sukhjeet Singh scored from open play. Harmanpreet was shown the yellow card, but the India captain had one more moment of magic in store....
