All-Malaysian tactical duel in store as hockey 5s battle nears showdown

BANGKOK: It will be an all-Malaysian mastermind affair as the chase for the men’s hockey 5s title at the SEA Games moves into high gear.

Malaysia will take on the Philippines in the semi-finals at the Royal Thai Air Force Stadium in Don Mueang today, and victory could set up a final against either Indonesia or Thailand – both coached by Malaysians.
