Australia wins over India in the summit showdown to win the
Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament in Ipoh on Saturday. Thomas William
Craig (25th, 35th) scored twice while Matt Ghodes (43rd, 57th) too found the
net two times for Australia as the in-form Kookaburras won the tournament for a
record ninth time. The result meant Australia lifted the trophy with an all-win
record.
Ghodes scored his first goal while the second one came barely
three minute before the final hooter, as the script refused to change with
Australia continuing their denomination over 7th ranked India, who won the
tournament five times in the past. India finished third in the last edition.
India started well as the first quarter ended goal-less, but conceded once in
the second quarter. The Aussies though were way ahead of their opponents when
play resumed after the first half.
