2nd half solidity gives India victory
Three goals from the Indian team in the second half made all the difference.
Earlier in the first half, Malaysia did not allow India the space after limiting them to a lone goal, which was scored by Gurjit Kaur.
The 2002 CWG gold medallist team saw Malaysia equalize in the 38th minute.
From there on, India attacked through the flanks and bagged the goals.
