IPOH: Malaysia needed to beat India by at least eight goals to have a chance of joining Australia in the final of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament.

Instead, it was India who went on a goal feast, clobbering the hosts 6-1 in their last preliminary round match at the Azlan Shah Stadium on Friday.
