60 - FULL TIME! INDIA WIN THE HOCKEY ASIA CUP 2017, as the hooter goes off, signalling the end of play. Malaysia threw everything at them. They came oh, so close to scoring the equaliser, but India held on for dear life in the end, to win it.

59 - Malaysia play it in, but Manpreet plays it out for a long corner.

59 - Malaysia look for a PC, as Tengku asks for a review for a deliberate block. There was an Indian foot, but it was outside, and there was no deliberate intention to block it. Hence, Malaysia get a free hit outside the D, and lose their review.

58 - Lalit tries to hold it up in the left corner of the Malaysia end, but Malaysia get it back.

57- Malaysia are throwing on the Powerplay! Keeper Kumar comes.

55 - Rohidas crosses it in, his cross is blocked, and he earns a long corner.

53 - Tengku gets a long ball near the D, and tries to turn Sardar. He managed to beat the 31-year-old, but the other defenders come to his aid.

50 - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!! Shabaah pulls one back for Malaysia! Tengku plays it in to Faizal on the right, who crosses it in. The cross is kicked away by keeper Chikte, but Shabaah gets the rebound, and turns it in! India's lead has been reduced to 2-1! India reviewed that goal, looking for a stick check by Faizal on Harmanpreet, but the review does not go their way. They lose their review.

46 - Ramandeep gets the 4th Quarter underway.

45 - And with that, the hooter goes off to signal the end of the 3rd Quarter! It has been all even in this quarter, but India already have a 2-goal lead, and are looking to dictate the play, despite Malaysia keeping 54% possession. Malaysia are yet to register a shot on target.

45- Lalit passes to Uthappa in the D this time. Uthappa pulls the trigger, but his shot is wide.

31- And we're back for the second half, as Lalit get us underway!

30 - Half Time! And with that, the hooter goes for half time, with India scoring either side of the quarter break in the first half. On merit, the two sides have been more-or-less even, but India have been clinical in front of goal, as they took the 2-0 lead. Malaysia have khogged the majority of the ball, but they have not been able to show much for it. Even with 57% possession of the ball and 7 circle entries, Malaysia have not been able to register a single shot on target.

29- GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! Lalit makes it 2-0 India!

19 - Chance! Malaysia attack from the left wing, and they fizz in a cross across goal. Faizal was waiting, unmarked at the far post, but it missed him and rolled out of play. That was a golden chance for Malaysia to equalise.

16 - Both Malaysia and India are trying to play the fast paced game, as the ball ping pongs from one end to the other. However, this fast game is also leading to a few mistakes.

15 - End of 1st Quarter! That has been a lively quarter, as both the sides have shown good intent to score. Malaysia has been the dominant force in the quarter, with 57% possession, and have made 5 circle entries, as compared to India's 4. However, India have the lead, after an early goal.

13- PC Malaysia! Malaysia fluff their penalty corner chance, and Sardar breaks on the counter. He tried to play a long through ball on the reverse towards Sunil, but even the experienced Indian player fluffed his reverse pass.

4 - India go looking for a PC, as the ball seemingly hits a Malaysia foot on in the D. However, Malaysia review it, and earn a free hit.

3 - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!!! Ramandeep gets the early breakthrough for India! Sunil bombs down the right flank and fizzes it into the D across the face of goal. It misses everyone, but Ramandeep was waiting unmarked at the first post. His first-time tap-in hit the post, but he managed to turn the rebound into the net on the reverse.

1 - Akashdeep is played through on goal, but he fails to chase the ball down, and it is cleared by the Malaysia defenders.
