Sultan of Johor Cup 2024: Malaysia vs India preview, predicted lineups, match prediction, and live streaming details
India will face Malaysia in their third Sultan of Johor Cup 2024 match on Tuesday, October 22. India continued their unbeaten run and secured their second victory in as many games by beating Great Britain 6-4 in their previous clash. India secured a thrilling 6-4 victory, bouncing back from an early setback when Rory Penrose scored from Great Britain's first penalty corner in the second minute.
Mohd Konain Dad quickly equalized in the seventh minute, but Penrose struck again in the 15th minute to give Great Britain a 2-1 lead. India responded strongly, with Dilraj Singh scoring in the 17th minute to level proceedings. Sharda Nand Tiwari’s penalty corner in the 20th minute and Manmeet Singh’s field goal in the 26th minute gave India a solid 4-2 lead by halftime.
Great Britain narrowed the gap in the fourth quarter with Michael Royden's goal, making it 4-3. However, Sharda Nand struck again from a penalty corner in the 50th minute, followed by another goal from Dilraj Singh, extending India's lead to 6-3. Despite a late goal by Royden in the 59th minute, India held on for a well-deserved 6-4 win, their forward line delivering an impressive performance throughout the match.
On the other hand, it has been a disappointing start to the Sultan of Johor Cup 2024 for Malaysia. They have lost both matches so far, suffering a 2-3 defeat against New Zealand followed by a 1-4 loss against Japan.
India are at the top of the table with six points while Malaysia are struggling at the bottom and have yet to register a single point.
