Asian Champions Trophy 2023: After playing a frustrating draw against Japan, India made a brilliant comeback to secure a sensational victory against Malaysia. The victory answered all the critics after their draw and put India back on top.
This is the tournament’s seventh edition, and India has won the tournament most times alongside their arch-rivals, Pakistan. India is now sitting at the top of the table with 7 points, and they have almost booked their place in the quarter-finals.
Malaysia was the table leader before this match, and India knocked them down to grab the top spot. If India qualifies for the semi-final while retaining their top spot, it will benefit them.

India continued their unbeaten run as they thrashed Malaysia 5-0. They controlled the match from the first minute and broke the deadlock after the 15th minute. It also looked like the Men In Blues took notes of their shortcomings in the previous match.
In the match against Japan, they only converted one penalty corner out of the 15. But this time, they convert two PCs consecutively, make the lead 3-0, and get into an unbeatable position.
India is now in first position with 7 points out of a possible nine, and Malaysia is right behind them with six points. India will play their next match against Pakistan on August 9, and Men In Blues will have a good chance of knocking their neighbors out of the tournament.
