Ipoh (Malaysia), May 12 (PTI) A lacklustre India suffered a disappointing 2-5 loss against Malaysia in a round-robin match to slump to their first defeat in the Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament here today.
Despite the loss, India still topped the seven-team table with 10 points and they will have to beat Egypt in their last fixture on Saturday to make it to the summit clash.
Malaysia, on the other hand, jumped to the second spot with eight points after today's win, their biggest-ever against India.
Malaysia sounded the board through Mohamed Amin Rahim (27th and 48th minute), Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin (39th), Mohamed Razie (41st) and Nasir Azreen Rizal (60th minute) while the Indian marksmen were Danish Mujtaba (44th) and Ravi Pal Singh (67th).
India needed to beat Malaysia to secure their place in Sunday's final but they seemed complacent throughout the match.
