ALOR SETAR: Malaysia got their campaign back on track with an expected 5-0 drubbing of Myanmar in the men’s event of the Asia Team Championships.

But Malaysia, who suffered a 3-2 defeat to Thailand on Tuesday, certainly need a top-notch performance in their final Group C game against Taiwan today in order to qualify for the quarter-finals.
