IPOH: Rookie Mohd Shahril Saabah has been in top form in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament, scoring two goals in the first two matches against South Africa and South Korea.

And now the 20-year-old forward from Kuala Terengganu will have to deliver the penalty corner goals in the absence of experienced striker Faizal Saari, who faces a one-match suspension for breaking a chair in the match against Canada on Monday.
