Aussies in Cup final

KOOKABURRAS coach Colin Batch insists the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup is “still very open” despite Australia securing their spot in the final with a game to play.

The Kookaburras defeated Ireland 4-1 to all but secure a spot in the final, with results later in the day confirming Australia’s qualification for the decider in Malaysia.

Australia have won all four matches they have played at the Cup, scoring 15 goals and conceding only five.
