"We really played very well in the last five minutes of all five matches, and that shows that Malaysia are a fighting side," said Malaysia coach Paul Revington.
Any complacency as Malaysia were already in the final.
"A little, but the positive thing is that going into the final, we came back from behind to draw the match to remain unbeaten in this tournament. That is very important to my plans.
"Razie (who received a nasty knock) is fine, and against Australia, the World No 2, we will definately give it our best shot," said Revington.
Faizal Saari, who topscored for Malaysia with five goals in the tournament, is looking forward to continuous support from the fans.
"I urge the crowd to throw their full support behind the team like they have done in the past five matches as it is a defining moment for the country.
"Malaysia has never won the title in 22 Editions (30 years) and we hope to correct that score tomorrow, with the undying help from the crowd," said Faizal.
"We could have scored three or four more goals, and in future when we play Malaysia we will do just that," warned India coach Michael Nobbs, as India will also play in the Asia Cup in Ipoh for the ticket to the World Cup.
And who did Nobbs pick to win the final: "Australia, of course."
