There haven't been any defeats to worry over but the Indian men's hockey team would be eager to ensure that its far-from-convincing run finds some footing when it takes on lower-ranked Malaysia at the Commonwealth Games here on Tuesday.
Malaysia is ranked way below in the FIH charts but India is in no mood to take the opponent lightly.
Malaysia have been enduring an ordinary run so far. The defeated Wales 3-0 but after being hammered 0-7 by England in their tournament opener.
The last time the two teams clashed India had notched up a massive 5-1 triumph. And a similar victory would be expected on Tuesday. A win on Tuesday would strengthen the two-time defending silver-medallists chances of making the semifinal.
