\"AzlanIpoh (Malaysia): <\/strong>India’s slim hopes of playing the Azlan SAhah Cup hockey final ended the moment Britain beat Pakistan 2-1, the finalist to play New Zealand was decided when Argentina got the better of Malaysia 1-0 in the last league match here.<\/p>\n

Though the third match Saturday was inconsequential for New Zealand, who had already made sure of a place in the final, their loss to Korea by a solitary goal had some say in the classification matches.<\/p>\n

After their victory over Pakistan Friday, there was a mathematical chance for India making the final provided Britain and Argentina lost their last round-robin games Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was too much to ask for and they had to finish fourth in the table behind Britain who finished third with 11, one point less than the finalists.<\/p>\n

For New Zealand, Sunday’s final against Argentina will be their first title fight in the tournament. <\/p>\n

India, as Michael Nobbs said after their game against Pakistan, will be happy to be on the podium by beating Britain and finishing third. In the league game, the Indian were beaten 2-3 by Britain. <\/p>\n

Korea will take on Malaysia for the fifth and sixth places while Pakistan finished last in the seven-team tournament..<\/p>\n

Great Britain rallied well in the second half to overcome Pakistan after being down by a backhanded goal scored by Haseem Khan utilizing a Waqas pass in the first session.
Midway through the second half, Britain leveled the scores through a Barry Middleton goal. Four minutes from the the hooter, Ashley Jackon struck the winner.<\/p>\n

A last-minute goal by Jang Jong Hyun, converting a penalty corner, saw Korea beating New Zealand who took things a bit lightly having already made the final.

The results:
<\/strong>
Korea 1 (Jong Jang Hyun) beat New Zealand 0. <\/p>\n

Great Britain 2 (Barry Middleton, Ashley Jackson) beat Pakistan 1 (Muhammad Waqas).<\/p>\n

Argentina1 (Pedro Ibarra) beat Malaysia 0.<\/p>\n
