On the other hand, the Harimau Malaya, coached by Spaniard Pau Martí, recently secured a 3-1 victory over Laos on November 14 and a similar win against Chinese Taipei in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

The India-Malaysia rivalry dates back to 1957. Both teams have faced each other 32 times, with an even split of 12 wins each and eight draws. Malaysia triumphed 4-2 in their last encounter during the Merdeka Cup semi-final. With India ranked 125th and Malaysia 133rd in FIFA standings, this match promises to be closely contested.

India will be boosted by the return of experienced defender Sandesh Jhingan, recovering from a long-term ACL injury. Familiar faces like Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Lallianzuala Chhangte also feature in the squad, nine of whom played in the Merdeka Cup clash.

Malaysia's squad includes key players like Dion Cools, Fergus Tierney, and the talented Arif Aiman, with 14 members from their Merdeka campaign retained. Most of their players hail from domestic giants Johor Darul Ta'zim FC and Terengganu FC.

Both teams feature Spanish head coaches - Manolo Marquez and Pau Martí - bringing tactical acumen and familiarity from their shared history in Barcelona. With both teams determined to end the year on a high, expect an intense battle in Hyderabad.
