Talvinder and then Rupinder scored to make the final score 4-1.
However, in the 4th quarter it was all India.
Raghunath doubled the lead only to see Malaysia strike back within a few seconds.
Akashdeep Singh gave India the early lead.
And the hooter sounds. It's all over. India win 4-1.
Into the final minute of action. And India set to clinch third place in the tournament.
About 90 seconds left in this one. Malaysia looking for a last hurrah.
The Indians wanted to atone for their dodgy display from yesterday and they have done so.
The result now doesn't seem to be in any doubt.
3 minutes left in the contest.
Rupinder scores. His sixth of the tournament and there is no stopping this guy.
GOAAAAL!!
Rupinder on the field this time.
And this time India have been awarded a PC. Sardar with another nimble run into the circle and gets India another golden opportunity.
More chances of this being a 4-1 rather than 3-2
5 minutes to go. And India still looking the more dangerous side.
Pardeep Mor down now. He has bit in the "unmentionables". That of course looks nasty :D
Only 8 minutes remaining in the game. India finally have some space to breathe.
Talvinder with the goal. Poor marking inside the circle.
And India score.
48' - Akashdeep with a shot. But Kumar is there again.
Malaysia haven't had anything going for them except the goal. India will be mightily disappointed at having conceded so lat on.
And we are off in the final quarter.
Third quarter ends. And India have a one goal lead.
That was sloppy from Surender Singh who fails to get ahead of his man.
Joel van Heuzen scores with a deflection at the near post.
And just as we speak Malaysia strike back.
Goes in between the two runners and the goalkeeper is totally unsighted as it crashes into the backboard.
Raghunath finally scores from the PC.
And GOAAAAAL!
Bad trap. But comes to Raghunath who drag flicks it. Great save but another PC.
Sardar to inject.
Great play from Raghunath down the right leads to the PC.
We are into the last minute of the third quarter and we have a PC for IND.
Malaysia have really failed get into the thick of things this half so far. India have had it all their way.
39' - Surender Singh again thrashes it in. This time from the right. But Malaysia is able to clear comfortably.
Talwinder Singh with a shot from the left, Kumar saves it well. India on the ascendancy here in Melbourne.
India still having the greater joy. Malaysia haven't been able to get into it at all so far.
5 minutes gone in the 3rd quarter. India still leading 1-0.
Another attack from India. But Satvir Singh's reverse hit is sloppy and is lifted in the air. Kumar saves and Malaysia get away.
Izad Hakimi of Malaysia down. Akashdeep's smack catches Hakimi on the wrist. That's gotta have hurt.
India really have taken the game by the horns in the opening minutes of the second half.
Sardar and Manpreet combine well. But Malaysia look good at the back.
Can India hang on to the slim one goal lead? Let's find out.
The players are back out on the pitch.
India lead 1-0.
And that's it. End of the first half.
