This win means that India will tops their Pool D and will take on South Korea, who finished second in Group C on 8th April 2022, Friday. A brilliant group stage for India as this winning run ensures that they avoid defending champions Argentina, who topped Group C, in the quarterfinals.
An easy outing for India as they top Group D. India started slowly, but two goals in a minute in the first quarter put the Malaysians off completely. They tried to sit back and defend while looking for counterattacks for majority of the first half, but a goal from Lalrindiki then just killed the game completely.
The Malaysians did try to attack more in the second half, but the Indian defence and goalkeepers were up to the task to ensure that they enter the quarterfinals on the back of a clean slate.
IND 4-0 MAS
Yet another attack for India towards an empty goal and they slot it in this time around. Mumtaz Khan with the final touch and she has a brace.
IND 4-0 MAS
The Malaysian goalkeeper is off and India penetrates. A wonderful pass towards Sharmila, who tries to deflect it in. But, three Malaysians crowd the front of the goal and block it with their sticks. SENSATIONAL.
IND 3-0 MAS
The drag flicking has been rather poor tonight from both India and Malaysia. PC number seven for India and this time the Malaysian goalkeeper saves it with her stick.
IND 3-0 MAS
A change in the goalpost for India for the final quarter and Khushboo is called into action rightaway. A PC for Malaysia and the youngster blocks it rather easily with her legs. Beautiful.
IND 3-0 MAS
Malaysia have started to find gaps much more now, but they have not really been able to net anything in. India needs to ensure they keep things tight.
That's number six, which India have failed to convert. Hit straight into the goalkeeper's legs once again. That is also the end of the third quarter and the scores remain unchanged.
IND 3-0 MAS
5th PC of the evening for India and that's the fifth miss. Hit straight to the goalkeeper Nasir once again.
