KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia showed grit and determination as they roared back from three goals down, only to fall 4-3 to South Korea in their final round-robin match at the Sultan Azlan Shah (SAS) Cup in Ipoh today (Nov 29).



Tough challenge await India in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup final today



Despite posting the tournament’s biggest victory of the ongoing Sultan Azlan Shah Cup — 14-3 against Canada in the last pool match — India faces tough challenge in the final against Belgium today.  Their rival in the final is easily the best team so far, having won four matches and drawing one  including a gritty one-goal margin over India. With tight defence and amazing forwardline  the only European team in the six-nation competition, Belgium enters the final as favourite for the title. Interestingly, Belgium drew Canada 1-1 in their opening match, but India struck 14 times against Canada the other day.  The visiting Indians can take enormous pride having reached the final, as it has left some shining stars like Harmanpreet Singh, Manpreet Singh and Hardik Singh among others.
