MALAYSIA will play New Zealand in the Third-Fourth placing match of the Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh Saturday.
Yesterday, Malaysia were hammered 6-1 by India, who checked into the final against World No 1 Australia.
After playing five super matches, Malaysia played like schoolboys in-front of a packed gallery.
India came out looking for a spot in the final and scored two quick goals inside 10 minutes of play.
However, India were made to look good by Malaysian defenders Izad Jamaluddin and Razie Rahim, whose poor clearenceas led to the early goals.
First Razie's soft clearenace was turned into goal by Chandanda Thimmaiah in the third minute, and then Izad gave away the ball to Harjeet Singh for the second goal in the seventh minute.
Skipper Razie, playing like a novice, gave away the third penalty corner which also earned him a yellow card for a bad tackle.
Ramandeep Singh scored in the 25th minute, and India were on their way to playing in the final today against Australia.
And Danish Mujtaba made it 4-0 in the 27th minute, off a penalty corner rebound. Ramandeep got his brace in the 39th, and Talwinder Singh made it 6-1 in the 58th minute.
Shahril Saabah scored Malaysia's consolation in the 46th minute.

And they also officially killed the Champions Trophy --- as it would not be held after 2018. The Champions Trophy made its debut in 1978, and was the brainchild of Pakistan.
FIH president Leandro Negro made the announcement in Ipoh yesterday.
