India have qualified for the FINALS after this win. India will face Korea next day after tomorrow. This is Subhashish, join us then!!!

Vandana is the player of the match yet again and deservedly so. She, however, accepts the fact India could have done better!!!

India have beaten Malaysia and thus top the table in Donghae. They earned full points from a match they dominated, but the Indian girls will know for sure that they should have won this match with a far more comfortable margin.

FINAL SCORE: INDIA 3 - MALAYSIA 2

THAT'S IT!!! INDIA HAVE WON

58' Free hit to India outside the Malaysian 25.

57' India ALMOST HAVE A FOURTH!!!!!! Deflection is wide!!!

Stay with us as we continue to bring you the action after the long breather

India have dominated the second quarter quite ominously. They should have scored at least on two ocassions. Yet, on the scoresheet they have just a one-goal lead. Will India have to pay for not making use of numerous opportunites??

14' Its the first time in the tournament that India have failed to score in the opening quarter. Will Sjoerd Marijne change his strategy for the next quarter??

13' Unlike China and Japan, Malaysia look to be very tight in defence, playing to a plan. Outnumbering the Indian strikers time and again.

11' Vandana make a great solo run and earns a free hir for India just outside the Malaysian 25. Indian cannot capitalise and Malaysian launch a counter. The pace of the match is FRENETIC!!! India back in the Malaysian circle!!!

9' The Malaysian defence has been solid so far, not allowing the Indian strikers too close to goal. Too many Malaysian defenders in their own circle denying space to the Indian forwards.
