With one win and two draws, the undefeated New Zealand are in contention for a top-two finish and qualify for the final. Japan, meanwhile, are fifth in the six-team team table with one win and two defeats.
Considering both teams' goal-scoring forms, this New Zealand vs Japan men's under-21 hockey match will most likely be a cagey affair. New Zealand (6) and Japan (7) have scored 13 goals, which is one less than India's grand total.
Third place Australia, who take on India later in the day, are joint second in this list with eight goals, same as Great Britain. Hosts Malaysia have the least goals, with five scored.
