Australia secured back-to-back wins at the 2018 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup as they defeated hosts Malaysia 3-1 on Sunday.

After taking the lead through Corey Weyer's 10th-minute penalty corner goal, the world No.1 team took advantage of the Speedy Tigers's defensive mistakes at the end of the second and third quarter to extend their lead through Dylan Wotherspoon and Aaron Kleinschmidt.

Malaysia, who had a goal overturned in the 36th minute, stepped up a gear in the final quarter and managed to find a consolation through Marhan Jalil.

The victory allowed the Kookaburras to regain the top position, which was temporarily held by Argentina after overcoming Ireland 5-3 earlier in the day.

Gonzalo Peillat put in a strong performance with another hat-trick of penalty corner goals, having done the same against India yesterday.

The Irish were mostly in control of the encounter for the opening 20 minutes, taking a 2-0 lead thanks to Shane O'donoghue and Sean Murray, but Argentina scored four goals in 10 minutes to overturn the lead.

Lucas Vila struck a 22nd-minute goal in between Peillat's brace before Juan Gilardi scored one from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time.

Peillat completed his hat-trick in the 46th minute, while Ireland's Eugene Magee scored the last goal of the game to make the score line more respectful.

In the first match of the second day, England needed a late goal to salvage an 1-1 draw with an misfiring India side, who wasted nine penalty corners.

Mark Gleghorne converted a penalty stroke in the 53rd minute to cancel out Shilanand Larka's 14th minute opener.
