India resurrected their campaign at the Asian Games women's hockey tournament with a fluent 4-2 victory over Malaysia in a round-robin league match on Wednesday night.
The Indian eves, who had surprisingly lost to China in their last match, gave a better display to get past the nippy Malaysians in a floodlit encounter.
Asunta Lakra (3rd), Binita Toppo (25th), Saba Anjum (29th) and Mamta Kharab (68) scored for India, who had opened up a 3-1 lead at the half-time.
For Malaysia, Kanaggi Arumugam (9th) and Nadia Abdul Rahman (54th) found the target.
