THE HAGUE: Malaysia’s first match back in the hockey World Cup fold, after a 12-year absence, ended with a 4-0 bashing by world No. 1 and defending champions Australia at the Kyocera Stadium in The Hague, Holland.

Malaysia did well to restrict Australia to just a one-goal lead in the first half of their Group A match – courtesy of a Glenn Turner solo effort in the 26th minute.
