Kuala Lumpur, May 14: Malaysia, wounded after the shock defeat to South Korea in their opening match, should be able to take all five matches today against a mediocre Indian team.

Malaysia's second singles player Ong Ewe Hock whose defeat to a lower ranked Korean player cost the Malaysians the match,  will be replaced by talented Yong Hock Kin.

New kid on the block Chan Chong Ming has been rested to pave way for Yap Kim Hock to partner Cheah Soon Kit in the doubles.

South Korea, after their upset win over Malaysia, are expected to do a similar stunt against Denmark.

The Koreans can go into the match with an assumed 2-0 lad as their doubles pairs are head and shoulders above the two Danish pairs.

Korea need just to steal one point in the singles to beat the Danes, whose singles power is centered around Peter Gade-Christensen and Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen.

The decider would be the third singles between Kenneth Jonassen and Park Tae-sang.
