Ipoh:
Malaysia snatched an exciting 2-1 win over India on Friday to join Australia in the final.
However, coach Joaquim Carvalho says the team has put that disappointment behind them to focus on third place.
This in itself will be a big achievement for the team, considering how young and relatively inexperienced the squad is.
India had finished third in the eight-nation tournament last year as well.
