India beat Malaysia in
four-nation hockey

India shrugged off their humiliating 0-4 defeat against Australia in the opener to score a convincing 3-0 victory over Malaysia in the first leg of the four-nation hockey tournament in Adelaide, Australia, on Saturday.

India went into the lead within 90 seconds of start of play when Daljit Singh Dillon scored.

Penalty-corner specialist Jugraj Singh scored India's second goal just before half-time as India led 2-0 at the break.

After changing ends, India kept the rival forwards at bay before Prabhjot Singh rounded off the tally.

This was India's first victory over Malaysia in six encounters.

Earlier in the day, Australia scored their second successive victory, beating South Korea 4-2.
