Australia are heading the table with eight points from four outings and only require a draw against New Zealand to seal a berth in the final. The New Zealanders are two points behind Australia and are in a must-win situation. Hosts Malaysia (8 points) are assured of a final berth.

India, who have got three points so far, can best qualify for the third-place play-off, if they beat the hosts today. But coach Michael Nobbs is confident of putting up a good show and qualify for the play-offs.
