This win marks the Speedy Tigers' fourth consecutive triumph, following wins over Uzbekistan, Oman, and Thailand.\n\nThe match saw Malaysia trailing by 3-4 at one point, but they staged a remarkable comeback to snatch the victory, marking Pakistan's first defeat at the Asian Games. This is the Speedy Tigers' fourth consecutive win, a sequence that began with victories over Uzbekistan (7-0), Oman (7-0), and Thailand (10-0).\n\nThe Speedy Tigers are set to face China in their next game on Monday. At the 2022 Asian Games, India claimed the gold medal, while Malaysia finished sixth after losing to Pakistan by a score of 2-5. Despite never winning gold, Malaysia has reached the final twice, in 2010 and 2018.",
