India vs Malaysia Prediction

Despite failing to win their opening game, the defending champions India showed their resilience and never-give-up attitude by saving the game in the final couple of minutes against Pakistan.

They will take a lot of confidence and positivity from the last game and will look to notch their first win in the tournament. At the same time, Malaysia played well in patches in the last game but it wasn't enough to win the game. India will feel confident enough to take the hosts down.

Prediction: India is expected to win this match.
