India’s third match of the ongoing Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament here, against Malaysia on Sunday is a clash of contrasting fortunes.

While the Malaysians are leading the six-team points table with six points after two-out-of-two wins (they beat Pakistan 3-1 and China 5-1), India are in second spot with four points after an opening 7-2 win over China followed by an uninspiring 1-1 draw with Japan.
