India vs Malaysia Prediction
Malaysia will be high on confidence after defeating Pakistan and China on the trot. They will look to dominate the hosts and will begin this game as favourites.
India needs something special to stop Malaysia from winning this contest. The hosts were below-par with their performance against Japan, a team they defeated 8-0 early in 2023. They will depend on Harmanpreet Singh once again, as he is the current leading goal-scorer for the team.
Match Prediction: India to draw with Malaysia in the ninth match of Asian Champions Trophy 2023
