FULL TIME: India beats Malaysia 3-2. A win is a win but India has a lot of loose ends to tie-up. It was a game where missed chances galore, trapping and finishing remained poor in the opponent's circle and they had a close shave in the 69th minute as well in the end. 3 points for India but there is much to do for the upcoming game against Australia on Monday.
