India take on hosts Malaysia in the semi-finals of the Asia Cup Hockey tournament at Ipoh today. India cruised through the league stage by uprooting defending champion Korea, Oman and Bangladesh. Unlike their opponents, the Indians will be high on confidence after securing their semi-final berth with an unbeaten record. The Sardar Singh-led side spanked debutants Oman 8-0, followed by wins over defending champions South Korea 2-0 and Bangladesh 9-1 to top Pool B. Malaysia, on the other hand, finished second in Pool A after they won against Chinese Taipei and Japan but lost to Pakistan in their Pool A engagements.
