Full Time: India beats Malaysia 2-1. Advances to the final

The Indian junior men's hockey team advanced to the final of the Sultan of Johor Cup for the record 8th time in their 12th appearance with a 2-1 win over Malaysia.

However, it was not an easy win for India as the hosts put up a lot of pressure on the Indian defence, especially after their second-half equaliser.

The Indian team showed good composure in the final quarter and held off all the dangerous attacks of the Malaysian team with quality defending and man-marking.
