India Fall 2-4 to Australia, Must Beat Malaysia to Reach Final
The Indian junior men’s hockey team faced a setback in the 2025 Sultan of Johor Cup in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, today. In a crucial match, India lost to Australia with a score of 2-4.
Unfortunately for India, the defeat was their first of the tournament and means they missed the chance for an early ticket to the championship final.
The qualification for the final will now depend entirely on the result of their last group game, where they are scheduled to play against the host team, Malaysia. India must secure a positive result against Malaysia to keep their title hopes alive and earn their spot in the final match.
