The Black Sticks Women have suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Malaysia in game three at the TET MultiSports Centre in Stratford.
Despite controlling the game early, New Zealand struggled to put shots on goal and allowed Malaysia to play their way back into the match in the second half.
The visitors secured the winning goal three minutes from fulltime when Fatin Sukri converted from a penalty corner.
Black Sticks assistant coach Sean Dancer said it was a disappointing performance.
"The result is disappointing and our basics were poor tonight," he said.
