Sangita Kumari (8', 55'), Preeti Dubey (43'), and Udita (44') found the back of the net in the game that saw India create numerous chances and put on a solid defensive performance to walk away with three points.

India were slow to start the game and Malaysia's Nur Mohd was presented with the first opportunity to score after a clever run in behind the defence but Indian goalkeeper Savita was on hand to bail the team out and save them from early blushes. Malaysia earned a penalty corner soon after but the shot was deflected wide.
