A profligate Indian hockey team huffed and puffed into the Commonwealth Games semi-finals after beating lower-ranked Malaysia 2-1 in a draining Pool B encounter in Gold Coast on Tuesday. Drag-flick specialist Harmanpreet Singh (3rd minute and 44th minute) scored twice from penalty corners to steer India to the win. Meanwhile, Faizal Saari (16th minute) pulled off the lone goal for Malaysia.

The Malaysians
Razie Rahim missed out on the opportunity to equalize

The Malaysians claimed one of their own in the sixth minute but Razie Rahim missed out on the opportunity to equalize for his team. However, Malaysia didn't have to wait too long to put themselves on the scoreboard as Faizal Saari sounded the board with a field goal in the 16th minute. India had the chance to reclaim the lead but Varun Kumar failed.

Goalkeepers
Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh produced a strong performance

In the 22nd minute, Mandeep Singh came close to scoring but his attempt was saved by Malaysian goalkeeper Hairi Abd Rahman.
