Australia wins Azlan Shah Cup for sixth time

Australia have won the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament for the sixth time. In the final at Ipoh in Malaysia on Sunday, the World Champions defeated Asian champions Pakistan by a narrow margin of three goals to two. Earlier yesterday, India finished sixth in the seven-nation tournament when they lost to South Korea 1-2, in the play-off match to decide the fifth spot. At half-time, the winners led Two-nil. Both the goals were scored by Nam Hyun-Woo by converting penalty corners. India's lone goal came in the second half through Vikram Pillay's field goal.
