Hockey: India draws Australia in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup

India has won the Sultan Azlan Shah tournament in 2009 and were joint winners with South Korea in 2010, if they win this year they would set a hat-trick of titles. The Azlan Shah cup is known to be a tournament in which countries do not send their complete team, it is the kind of tournament when the senior players are rested and the younger or next in line players represent their countries.



The tournament started off last week, the results so far:
May 5th: India Vs. South Korea: South Korea won the match 3-2 after India lead the game 2-0 at half time.
May 6th: India Vs. Great Britain: India won the match with a score of 3-1.
May 8th: India Vs. Australia: The game was tied at 1-1, India's goal keeper Adrian D'Souza performed extremely well by clamping down all the goal attempts by the Aussies. The score would have been 5-1 if it wasn't for D'Souza's performance.

India is set to play Malaysia today, here is a link of the match updates and other information about the tournament.
