CHENNAI: A near-capacity crowd turned up for the all-important Asian Champions Trophy clash between India and Malaysia at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium here on Sunday. While the spectators had plenty to cheer for in the first two matches of the day - both action-packed games ended in draws - they saved their best for the last. The India team did not disappoint them, jumping to the top of the table with a convincing 5-0 victory over Malaysia.
India, who returned to winning ways after the 1-1 draw against Japan on Friday, have seven points from three matches while Malaysia dropped to second in the standings and have six points off three games. In an encounter where they dominated from start to finish, India struck through both field goals and penalty corners to set themselves up for the rest of the ACT.
