KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 (Bernama) -- National men’s hockey head coach Sarjit Singh hopes his players can go through the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2025 in Bihar free from injuries.
Yesterday, the Speedy Tigers confirmed an early slot in the round after recording their second Group B victory, despite still having one remaining match against Taiwan scheduled for tomorrow.
“In the Super Four, the competition is definitely tougher because within five days, the team has to play four matches.
“I hope that we remain free from any injuries,” he said in a video shared by the Malaysian Hockey Confederation.
Earlier, the national men’s hockey team began their Group B campaign at the Asia Cup in style, coming from behind to thrash Bangladesh 4-1, before continuing their fine form with another 4-1 win over South Korea in their second match at the Bihar University of Sport Hockey Stadium.
Only the top two teams from each group qualify for the Super Four stage, and the top two teams in the Super Four will contest the final on Sept 7.
